Takeshi Yasuda

Takeshi Yasuda is a Japanese potter who was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1943.

Yasuda trained at the Daisei-Kiln in Mashiko from 1963 to 1966 and established his first studio there.

[1] His early work consisted of ash-glazed stoneware, after which he explored sancai and creamware.

Porcelain inspired new ways of using the pottery wheel and manipulating clay, very different to his work in stoneware.

[3] In September 2014 he was awarded an Honorary Degree from Bath Spa University.
