Artist

Ken Mihara

b. 1958, Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, Japan · Based in Izumo, Japan

  • Apprenticeship under Kenji Funaki (1981)
  • Stoneware
  • Ceramics

Ken Mihara creates quiet, architectural stoneware vessels that evoke ancient geological landscapes and Shinto spiritual austerity. Subjecting his hand-built vessels to multiple high-temperature wood firings without glazes, he allows the ash and flame to coax subtle mineral hues of grey, orange, and blue from the Izumo clay.
