The Mashiko-based potter Takauchi Shugo was born in 1937 and worked as a salaryman in Tokyo before moving to Mashiko after having been inspired by the folk-craft Mingei movement pioneered by Hamada Shoji and others. Takauchi’s works ignore the regionalism that bound styles of pottery found in the early ceramic art industry in Japan in the early 20th century, bringing Gifu techniques to the Tochigi prefecture where his kiln and ceramic practice in Mashiko operates. He experiments with a variety of Oribe wares in addition to Shino and ash-glazed pottery, after having established his own kiln in Mashiko in 1968.
