Beautiful turquoise blue
The city of Kasama in Ibaraki Prefecture has long been a region where pottery has flourished. The city has a prefectural college of ceramics and an art museum specializing in ceramics, and because of the emphasis on training and instruction, many young people who aspire to become potters still gather here today. Ms. Makiko Suzuki is another artist who moved to Kasama and continues to make ceramics. Her beautiful turquoise blue pieces, inspired by British potter Lucy Lee, are made from a woman’s point of view, with an emphasis on practicality, for example, to be easily placed on a shelf.
