Ken Matsuzaki: A Master Japanese Ceramist
Ken Matsuzaki is a world renown Japanese ceramist. He generally focuses on the beauty of the object he makes before the functionality. In addition, he maintains a traditional Japanese style to his works, but he adds a modern and somewhat radical twist. Unfortunately, Ken has a sorrowful past as the earthquake that hit in Japan years ago destroyed his studio, his kilns, and almost all of his work. However, it was a bitter sweet moment as Ken had shipped out 120 pots only days before to display at a new exhibition at Goldmark in England. Therefore, Ken's beautiful craftmanship will live on through that exhibition. Matsuzaki will continue on as truly one of the best Japanese ceramists.
