Hatta Toru - Ceramics

Every month, the artist fires up his anagama kiln and pours his passion into each creation, bringing his objects to life and deeply moving those who experience them. “When I am engrossed in my work, I move my hands and use my body so much that I have no time to think during the days of repeated work. In Japanese, when ceramists finish firing their work, they often say “toreta” – “I took it”. The ceramic artist’s first-ever printed collection, this book features powerful, newly photographed images of his works alongside texts detailing his dedication to ceramics.
