Toshifumi Tashiro
About the object: Toshifumi Tashiro's cups are finely crafted and their shape is reminiscent of enlarged porcelain cups. The matt black glaze looks elegant against the thin walls and shimmers brownish in the sunlight.
Manufacturing process: Toshifumi Tashiro turns his ceramics on the wheel, driven by hand. The clay comes from the famous soil in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, which is known to be ideal for pottery. Tashiro mixes different types of clay to achieve the texture and fire resistance he wants in his ceramics. Dhe clay used means that the use of glazes is limited. Some of his objects have two main firings.
Tashiro Toshifumi: "The vessels I make generally have a simple shape. That's why I try to find ways to express their richness and make them unique."
