Kuwata Takurō is a radical potter whose work is grounded in Japanese ceramic traditions despite his bizarre creations. His oddly elegant forms are based on iconic shapes such as the tea bowl. Kuwata states that his goal is to “create joyful and fun works by making the most use of the characteristics of the materials.”
