Shiho kanzaki biography of michael
He produces pottery within the Shigaraki tradition, employing the long-established methods of that tradition to create and fire his works. As time has passed, our correspondence has steadily drifted toward the themes which we hold most important to our lives and art.
With his permission, I share some excerpts from Kanzakis contributions to our conversations which I have found most stimulating.
