Tsuzuki Yutaka (都築豊)

Tsuzuki Yutaka (都築豊) of Daikoji Kiln (大興寺窯) was born in 1972 as the second son of Tsuzuki Seihō. In 1996, he began his training under Tōraku Morisato III, a renowned master of Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki. Mr. Morisato is known for mishima and inka inlay techniques which Yutaka incorporated into his own style.

In 2002, Tsuzuki-san returned to Tokoname and began making pottery under his father, Seihō. The following year, he established Daikoji Kiln and became an independent potter. Today, both he and his father produce delicate, elegant Tokoname teaware, decorated with mishima-inspired inlay designs.
