Kimura Koki – Mashiko Potter and Hand-Painted Sansui Landscape Artist
Koki Kimura is a Mashiko-based ceramic artist known for his refined craftsmanship and contemporary interpretation of traditional Japanese pottery. Working in the historic Mashiko region, he creates expressive functional ware featuring natural glazes, earthy textures, and balanced forms. A hallmark of his work is the hand-painted sansui landscape motif—an enduring Mashiko tradition—rendered with delicate brushwork and a modern sensibility. Each piece is handcrafted, celebrating the warmth of Mashiko clay and the quiet beauty of everyday Japanese ceramics, appealing to both daily users and collectors seeking authentic craft.
Mashiko-yaki (ware) is a style of Japanese pottery originating from Mashiko, a town in Tochigi Prefecture known for its rich clay and centuries of ceramic tradition. Characterized by thick, durable clay, simple yet elegant forms, and natural glazes, Mashiko-yaki is both functional and artistic, perfect for everyday tableware or collectible pieces.
Unlike ultra-delicate ceramics, Mashiko-yaki emphasizes sturdiness, warmth, and a tactile feel, reflecting the hands-on approach of the artisans. Many pieces are handmade in family-run studios, preserving traditional techniques while experimenting with contemporary designs.
