SHIBUNKAKU ONLINE SHOP | Yagi Kazuo

Ceramist from Kyoto. As a co-founder of Sōdeisha (Crawling through Mud Association), Yagi was largely responsible for establishing and popularizing non-functional objets as a major category of postwar Japanese ceramic art. Working in Shigaraki clay for much of his career, Yagi later turned to “black pottery” (kokutō). He taught at the Kyoto City University of the Arts.
