He grew up looking at pottery because there was the environment
which has a place of production very near.
He spent his boyhood caring of a garden tree and so on with his
father, and bonsai became a hobby naturally. It was the beginning
to have burned the pot at a tile maker's kiln for his loving tree.
In 1960 (Showa 35), Self-kiln was set. After the encounter and devotion
to the work of Sanshu-ichiyo, he started to make the practical pot
by obtaining instruction of the seniors of a ceramic art world. |
