Fumihiro Tamura
Potter Fumihiro Tamura, based in his hometown of Okazaki city in Aichi prefecture, has been producing functional tableware since completing his training in 2004. He cites both the pottery traditions of South East Asia as well the Kozeto pottery produced in the Aichi region during the middle ages as strong influences on his ceramics. While much of his pottery is wood-fired in a Makigama resulting in varied tones and textures over the surface of the piece, he also uses a gas kiln when desiring a more stable finish.
