Ceramic Artist / Potter – ASAKA

ASAKA creates ceramics at a studio in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, the birthplace of Mino ware. 

His works are initially produced using a mass-production technique called ‘Ikomi,’ but he then adds personal touches to transform them into unique pieces that cannot be mass-produced. His style is modern and very stylish, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality that becomes more apparent when held in hand.

His works have been donated to the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy (MIC).

Ikomi is a ceramic molding technique in which liquefied clay is poured into a plaster mold, and once the mold is removed, the shaped clay is extracted. It is an ancient method that has long been used for shaping ceramics.
