Description

Takashi Soga researches ancient Bizen ware and uses it as inspiration for his creative work.
He does not use any kiln tools made with modern chemical materials.
He seeks to recreate the environment in his atelier where ancient Bizen ware was originally produced.
His work, created in this unique environment, bears a striking resemblance to ancient Bizen ware.
This tokkuri (sake bottle) is based on an ancient Bizen hisago (gourd-shaped) tokkuri from the Momoyama period.
It features a depressed lower section, the resulting unique tilt of the neck, and a diamond-shaped stamped pattern.

He was born in Tokyo in 1984.
He became a disciple of Jun Isezaki in 2009.
He built a kiln in Bizen City in 2012 and began his career as a ceramist the following year.
