Shohei’s works are both refined and gentle, conveying warmth within their calm and dignified presence. A defining feature is his unglazed, high-fired technique. While he envisions a certain landscape of black, gray, and deep reddish tones when firing the kiln, the final expression is ultimately entrusted to fire, clay, and time. Embracing natural fluctuations, each form is crafted with meticulous care and sincerity. Within this delicate balance resides the distinctive beauty unique to his work.
