MASAAKI IWASA
Ceramic artist from Ehime Prefecture. Inspired by Rokuro Nakamura’s tokkuri (sake flasks), he entered the world of ceramics. After training in Bizen and Shigaraki, he moved to Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, where he established his own kiln and set up an independent practice. While serving as the head priest of a temple, he dedicated himself to ceramics. His works are characterized by totai-shikki (ceramic lacquerware), where he applies lacquer to ceramics, affixes silver foil, and then fires them, creating a unique and distinctive texture.
