Hironobu Nishitateno Medium Ceramics Email info@nishitatenopottery.com Website www.nishitatenopottery.com/home.aspx Artist's Statement My passion for making pottery springs from a desire to bring beauty and nature into daily life. I find inspiration everywhere I go, travelling with notebook in hand, sketching designs and shapes that can be incorporated into new works. My style is based on the simplicity and functionality of Japanese pottery, using natural materials and colors typical in nature. It is my belief that pottery should not be the center of attention on the dinner table; it should be simple and attractive, while discreetly adding to the delicious appearance of the food. I strive to creat pottery that resonates with me and brings out my inner peace. It is my hope that the natural simplicity of my pottrery can bring the same peace to others.
