Kan Ito (1971- )

After graduating from the Osaka University of Arts, Kan Ito studied under Mr. Hikaru Yamada, one of the masters who established “Sodei-sha”, a legendary group of ceramic artists in Kyoto.

Afterwards, he moved into “Togei-no-mori”, the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga prefecture, which has marvelous facilities -even an artist-in-residence system- , and concentrated on making art, with young and promising artists from all over the world.

In 1996, he went back to his home to join the family business with his father, Hitoshi Tachibana.

In 2006, he became independent and opened his own studio in Misaki, Kanagawa prefecture.

In 2012, he moved to Okayama city.

The sources of his inspiration are old ceramics and antiques.
He has held many exhibitions, not only in Tokyo but also all over Japan.
