Michikazu Sakai
Born in 1975 in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture. He apprenticed under Bizen pottery artist Satoru Masamune and built a climbing kiln in his hometown in 1997. He has since relocated to Kagawa Prefecture, where he continues to create pottery.
The works born from the wood-fired kiln exhibit a variety of charms, including the rich expressions of Oribe, Shino, and unique glazes made from mimosa ash. The flower vases reflect the power of earth and fire, adding depth and a quiet presence to the space when flowers are arranged in them.
The flower vases, imbued with the blessings of nature, add a soft warmth to daily life, gently nourishing the hearts of those who spend their days with flowers.
