Born in 1989 in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. After spending time living in Tokyo and Australia, Yuta Morimoto began his journey in ceramics in 2023, studying under renowned ceramic artist Teppei Ono.

Working with natural materials such as clay collected from Kochi and his hometown in Gifu, as well as ash, Morimoto explores the elemental expressions created through the interaction of earth and fire. Rooted in traditional ceramic techniques, his work incorporates influences from music, art, and the diverse cultures he encountered through urban life, bringing together a contemporary sensibility and an uninhibited creative spirit to develop a distinctive artistic language.

His work is characterized by a unique balance of tension and playfulness, often featuring barbed-wire motifs painted onto vessels. Combining primitive textures with bold, expressive forms, his ceramics possess a striking presence that transcends their everyday function, existing equally as functional objects and contemporary works of art.
