In the early Edo period, the first porcelain of Japan was fired in Arita, in the province of Hizen. This marked the origin of ceramic art, emphasizing refined forms and pristine coloration without any blemishes—a technique that can be considered the epitome of pottery craftsmanship. Mikihiko, deeply inspired by the aesthetic beauty of Arita ware (also known as Imari ware), has dedicated over forty years to the art of ceramics as a designated Traditional Craftsman by the Japanese government. His exceptional skills have garnered attention from major newspapers such as Asahi Shimbun.

Mikihiko's dedication to his craft is unwavering, as he meticulously oversees every aspect of the creation process, from kneading the clay to firing in the kiln. Arita porcelain stone is known for its hardness, making it challenging to shape on a potter's wheel, and it's not uncommon for potters to use clay from other regions. However, Mikihiko does not shy away from this challenge, striving to express beautiful forms. His work focuses on the beauty of shaping through the potter's wheel, intricate openwork carving that allows light to shine through, and a simplicity that conceals profound depth. Please enjoy the beauty that Mikihiko's hands bring to life—a simplicity that is both aesthetically pleasing and incredibly profound.
