More about Totaro Sakuma
Sakuma was born into a traditional pottery family but was influenced by Hamada Shoji (1894-1977) and learned to master various techniques and glazes early in his career. His work has been described as jimi (quiet and reserved) but is appreciated worldwide as part of the mingei (民芸) tradition.
