About the Artist
Pursuing New Possibilities of Clay and Fire
Ceramic artist Yoshiyasu Yamamoto received the NHK Chairman Award at the 70th Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition. He doesn't use glaze, only clay, and is highly evaluated for his techniques in unglazed high-firing, which is firing in the kiln to bring out patterns by mutation effect. With this simple, yet high level technique using only clay and fire, Yamamoto says he is aiming to make a new kind of pottery. His artwork that creates a mysterious atmosphere within the powerfulness of the clay is very attractive.
Style
Yakishime Yohen (high-fired kiln mutation) is a technique where the clay base is not glazed and patterns are made by firing inside the kiln. I try to make a new kind of high-fired ceramics thinking what kind of pottery I can make with clay and fire. I want to pursue the strength, mystery, and possiblities of clay.
