作家紹介
Profile
Profile
1979年 栃木県芳賀郡益子町生まれ。
明治38年創業の窯元、村澤陶苑の五代目。
若い感性を加味しながらも伝統を踏襲する作風は、次世代の益子焼を背負う姿勢を感じさせる。多くのイベントにも積極的に参加し、益子町と益子焼を担う若手陶芸作家として期待される存在。数々の賞を受賞しており、その作品は村澤陶苑店舗のギャラリーに先代の作品と共に展示されている。益子でも最大級だった三代目築窯の登り窯は2011年3月の震災で倒壊したが、現在は再建され自由に見学することが可能で、益子焼の伝統を感じる佇まいとなっている。
Born in 1979, Mashiko-cho, Haga-gun, Tochigi Pref., Japan, Murasawa is the 5th generation of famous pottery brand, "Murasawa Toen", which was first founded in 1905. There is an anticipation in the community for him to be the next young leader of Mashiko pottery, and he has received many awards in Tochigi Pref., Japan. His award-winning pottery pieces are displayed at his pottery shop in Mashiko-cho. Murasawa Toen's climbing kilns, which is one of the biggest in the city, crumbled down because of the 3.11 Northern Japan earthquake in 2011. However, it has recently been reconstructed by Murasawa and kiln specialists, and now, it's open to general public for viewing.
