Matsumoto Ryota

Matsumoto Ryota's pieces are instantly recognisable. He creates distinctive black ceramics which from a distance look like shou sugi ban with its charred raised grain, but on closer inspection they are finely detailed stoneware. The manganese glaze adds highlights of gold, and the overall effect is organic and mysterious. He often makes holes in his pieces and damages them intentionally to add a feeling of decay and wabi-sabi.
