Toseisha Kiln
Toseisha Kiln
Naoki Izumi
He follows a traditional approach to Echizen ware and creates dishes of a traditional Japanese design using the method of shaped resist dyeing and Tsuchi-morite (elevation). He thinks that hints for new designs can be taken from the old. He hopes to make our daily life happier by instilling traditional Japanese sensibilities into modern dishes.
