Takashi Ichihara studied the art of making pottery in his
native Japan before coming to the United States. He fires
his ceramic teapots, serving pieces and dinnerware using
wood ash. The type of wood that is used to make the ash
determines the color of the glaze.
The warm brown of the
clay comes through the rich glaze along the edges
of every piece. Ichihara's work is inspired by the forms and glazes
of ancient pottery traditions from all around the world.
