    About the Artist

    Elevating Gold Decoration Techniques to Modern Ceramics

    Ceramic artist Tomoko Takahashi makes ceramics using gold and silver decoration techniques that create beautiful patterns with gold and silver leaf. Her moon-themed ceramics with a unique worldview are gaining popularity. Takahashi received the NHK Chairman Award at the 71st Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition, the top public exhibition in Japan where the artworks from Living National Treasures to up and coming young artists gather. This was her first award at the Japan Traditional Kōgei Exhibition, but she has received many awards at the Kikuchi Biennale and the Exhibition of Contemporary Ceramics for the Tea Ceremony where the artworks of modern ceramic artists that are gaining attention gather.
