Ceramic Artist • 1993 –

A ceramic artist living in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. Kenta studied under his father, Taki, at the Ryutagama kiln founded by his grandfather, Takashi.

POINT OF VIEW

Kenta always envisions the scene where the food is to be served, and people around the table with smiles on their faces, as he creates new expressions of Karatsu ware. Each of his dishes conveys his free and relaxed sensibility, reflecting his upbringing in a family deeply in love with food.
