HOSH INO SATORU (b. 1945)

Hoshino Satoru is an internationally recognized figure in the field after years of teaching as a guest artist or artist-in-residence at ceramic centers in locations as varied as Denmark, Belgium, Korea, Australia, and Hungary. At the start of his career, this native worked for many years with the avant-garde, non-functional ceramic movement Sōdeisha. From the ancient tradition re-established by its founder, Yagi Kazuō, Satoru assumed the mantle of smoke-infused sculptural work (kokutō) that was not compromised by color or surface patterning, embodying fluidity and plasticity.
