HOSAI MATSUBAYASHI
Ceramic artist Hosai Matsubayashi was born in Uji, Kyoto to a family with over 400 years of history in Asahi-yaki Kiln. After learning the rokuro (potter’s wheel) in Kyoto, he apprenticed under his father and engaged in ceramic production at the Leach Kiln in St. Ives, England, before assuming the name Hosai XVI. Using the clay passed down through generations, he mainly produces tea ceremony ceramics, including the traditional works of Kase (literally, “fawn back”) and Beni-Kase (“red fawn back”), as well as his own style of Geppaku (“moon white”) overglaze, and is expanding his activity overseas as well.
