A ceramic artist living in Aichi Prefecture. Having studied ceramics in Seto, he pursues his original shapes of beauty. Mainly using the mold casting method, he continues making ceramics.
When we place Mr. Ando’s work in our surroundings, it makes us feel like we found a beautiful piece from along a trail. His works seems to be drawn from an uncertain beauty in nature. I want you to contemplate the textures that are hidden in each one slowly.
