Description
Born as the eldest son of Shin Isezaki into a prestigious family of Bizen ware, Youtarou Isezaki continues to create works in a new style that is not bound by conventional ideas. This is his **HAL Faceted Guinomi**.
By incorporating AI-generated imagery and decal transfer techniques, he pursues a distinctive form of expression that brings contemporary sensibilities into ceramics.
Inspired by Japanese anime, which is one of his own creative backgrounds, he generates original characters using AI and applies them across the entire surface of the vessel with transfer paper, creating an effect reminiscent of a photo collage.
Based on an original clay body made by blending porcelain clay and Mogusa clay, the surface is adjusted with coated clay and glaze, allowing the vessel itself to function like a canvas.
Furthermore, this clay canvas affects the outlines of the transferred images through the texture of the clay particles and the glaze, creating a uniquely faded surface impression, as if the piece had been used over a long period of time.
The body is finely faceted with vertical marks made by a spatula, and when held in the hand, it is interesting to quietly feel the traditional sense of form that has been passed down through the Isezaki lineage from Mitsuru Isezaki.
While based on the traditional form of a drinking vessel, this work brings together contemporary elements such as AI, decal transfer, and animation, creating a new ceramic expression unique to Youtarou Isezaki.
Youtarou Isezaki was born in 1995 in Bizen, Okayama Prefecture, as the eldest son of Shin Isezaki.
After graduating from Kyoto Seika University in 2018, he studied under his father, Shin Isezaki, and refined his ceramic techniques.
In 2024, he completed the Technical Course at the Tajimi City Pottery Design and Technical Center, and in 2025, he completed the Ceramics Lab at the same institute.
Today, he creates works that incorporate contemporary sensibilities while drawing on the ceramic heritage of the Isezaki family.
