Deep within the tranquil mountains of Tokigawa Town, Saitama Prefecture, Kazuhito Yamamoto dedicates himself to the art of pottery. His studio is a haven where he masterfully employs a spectrum of glazes – from the vibrant Oribe to the deep lapis lazuli and rich black – to craft a diverse range of everyday tableware. What sets his work apart is its astonishing variety. Playful polka dots and stripes coexist with pieces featuring boldly carved high bases, a captivating blend of whimsy and strength. It's this remarkable range of expression that makes it hard to believe all his creations come from one artist. Beyond his pottery, Yamamoto embraces a life intertwined with nature, raising goats and keeping bees, infusing his work with a genuine love for the natural world. His pieces, born from this harmonious lifestyle, deepen in charm with each use, seamlessly integrating into daily life and revealing new delights.
