I am producing teapots in Hakodate. All of my pieces are formed using the wheel. I established my kiln, Kurakakegama (cave kiln), at the foot of Mt. Hakodate with its spectacular night views and soft lights of the fisherman’s boats. I take up the challenge of producing teapots with natural-applied glazes.
