The pottery created by Shiro Tsujimura, who aspired to be a painter, is beautiful in shape, color, and size. Shiro Tsujimura works in the mountains of Nara, surrounded by nature. His style, which is full of the deep flavor of natural glazes and a powerful presence, has earned him high praise both at home and abroad. His fresh sensibility and unwavering sculpting ability have produced many highly refined works.
