Motohiko Ito伊藤東彦

1939-

ITO incorporates a unique Nunome(cloth pattern) technique to effectively bring expression to the vessel surface. His works with natural plants and flowers such as camellias, pines, lotus, figs, and cedar mountains on a cloth-grained ground are representative of this artist. As a ceramic artist, he has continued to challenge new forms of expression unconstrained by traditional forms.
