Joe Yoshida is a ceramic artist working in Mashiko Town, Haga County, Tochigi Prefecture, a town famous for its pottery.

Yoshida's works mainly feature "Bronze," which resembles artifacts unearthed from the earth after a long time, "Akasai," which has a contrasting smooth texture, and the new "Hakuyu" (white glaze) series, which is making its debut in this collection.

In recent years, he has also been creating more series with highly intricate sculptural elements, and each piece embodies a thorough commitment to color and texture.

As expressed in his recent exhibition "Chronicle," the greatest appeal of his work is its unique appearance, which evokes a historical romance as if time itself has accumulated within it.

Despite their imposing and distinctive appearance, another characteristic of Yoshida's works is their surprising "lightness."

These pieces are perfect for daily use, combining not only visual beauty but also an ease of handling that makes you want to reach for them every day. Why not write a new chapter in your daily life with pottery that feels as if it has been there since ancient times?

Takeshi Yoshida, a potter who works in Mashiko, Haga District, Tochigi Prefecture, a town famous for its pottery.

Mr. Yoshida mainly creates the "Bronze" series, which has the texture of excavated artifacts, and the "Hakudeisai" (White Clay Glaze) series, which resembles the walls of ruins.
