Yuichi Murakami, a promising young ceramic artist based in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, works with a variety of materials, including pottery, porcelain, and semi-porcelain, to create a diverse range of tableware.
His pieces include avant-garde, kiln-altered indigo bronze plates, and elegant white porcelain with a refined, crisp presence. He also creates functional Koryo and Kohiki ware, designed to beautifully showcase food.
