For Yamashita Kimitoshi, pottery is a place for self-expression.
Instead of thinking about what kind of work you want to create,
Art that is born from nothingness through mental concentration.
A work that encapsulates the universe and nature.
No two are alike.
The foundation soil is created by mixing beneficial microorganisms into the soil that you have dug yourself and adjusting the wavelength.
The resulting soil is called EM Ceramic.
Just by placing it, it purifies the air,
It is said to transform water or alcohol into a clear, mellow taste.
"I want you to feel it with your sixth sense."
Such vessels are created.
