Takatori Sculptures-Vases by Sueyoshi Hiromitsu
Takatori pottery is almost always associated with thinly-potted Tea vessels, until now. On a recent trip to Kyushu searching out such Takatori Tea vessels I found the Takatori studio of Sueyoshi Hiromitsu(b.1960) and was bowled over when I saw this Sueyoshi trio. Evoking gothic or sci-fi images, these Sueyoshi creations are the first in the long Takatori tradition of course using the traditional ash-glazes that Takatori is so well-known for. Sueyoshi apprenticed with Agano potter Kumagae Yasuoki (who was Tsuji Seimei’s apprentice) in 1980 and then in 1986 with Kaneko Mitomu; he established his present studio in 1987. He’s been in various juried exhibitions in western Japan as well as exhibiting at regional galleries and dept. store galleries.
