Playful and Soulful: New Kutaniyaki by Horihata Ran

September 28, 2020Ceramics Horihata Ran

Kutaniyaki by Horihata Ran in our Shop -> People often ask how I select makers for Entoten, and the short answer is that those chosen make work that I react to emotionally. To put it another way, ‘what they make me feel’ is more important than ‘how they look.’ For Kutani potter Horihata Ran, I…
