Meet the Artisan: Youtarou Takemura (Dainichigama)
The son of a potter, Youtarou happened to take the long way around to Dainichigama. Despite his father’s profession, at first he took no interest in ceramics, going on to get a regular job. However, living by himself changed the way he saw tableware and its value, spurring him to quit corporate life. Now, Dainichigama houses both father and son as they create pieces that capture the hearts of those who see and hold them.
Find Youtarou at Tastes of Kogei in Sydney, where he’ll demonstrate his craft alongside 3 more Kyoto-based artisans.
