Biography

Kan Kishino’s (b. 1975) ceramic works all have a similar earthen atmosphere.

Kishino studied under famous ceramicist Dogyu Fukmori, with whom he perfected his aesthetic. Working in the heart of Shigaraki—one of the ancient kiln regions of Japan—his pieces are filled with influences from classic Yakishime and Ido styles. Kishino’s ceramics emphasize the spontaneity of a natural firing, incorperating traditional technique into contemporary ceramics.
