The eldest son of the world-famous potter Shiro Tsujimura, Yui Tsujimura (b. 1975) pays special attention to natural materials and organic decorative appearances. Yui’s use of raw materials, especially charcoal ash thrown into the kiln during the firing, creates a refreshingly unique turquoise-green glaze rich with crystal and crazing patterns. Yui’s ceramics are in several impressive collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
