Hiroyoshi Hamamoto Born in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture in 1938. Entered the world of pottery at the age of 31 in 1969, seeking the ideal "madara" (mottling). Built the Sanri Kiln in Kitahata, Karatsu City in 1982, becoming independent. Held his first solo exhibition at Shibuya Kuroda Togeien in 1986, and has held one every year since. Using self-collected clay, making glaze by burning pesticide-free grown straw, and utilizing a split-bamboo climbing kiln to fire at high temperatures, Hamamoto's "Madara Karatsu" possesses a profound beauty. With a pure and unassuming personality, he cherishes "earth," never ceases to use "straw," and reveres "flame," continuing to create pottery, his way of life speaks to people through his works. The "Muji Karatsu" tea bowls born from the kiln, which focuses on Madara Karatsu, also have a deep flavor. Diameter 13.5cm Height 8.5cm Comes with a wooden box and cloth.
