A Ceramic Artist Demonstrating Her Skills in Kyoto

Tomoko Tsuda of Biogama is a ceramic artist who has studied and researched the technique of Raku ware, which is made with a unique firing method of rapid heating and rapid cooling, and presents her works.
Tsuda continues to make traditional tea utensils such as tea bowls and incense cases while working on artworks that make use of Raku ware techniques.
Tsuda, who entered the world of pottery at the age of 21, spent seven years learning how to make Raku tea bowls at Rakunyūgama. Raku tea bowls, which began in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, are called Raku ware because they were fired using soil taken from the neighborhood of Jurakudai, which was built by Hideyoshi.
Tsuda uses a unique mix of soil that he has researched and tested over hundreds of times over the course of 20 years.
Raku tea bowls are characterized by being hand-formed. It is a technique in which clay is kneaded by hand to form a shape, and then scraped with a spatula to shape it. Tsuda also aims to express the faint distortion and random beauty that come about by chance from human hands.
In recent years, Tsuda has taken the name "BIOGAMA" and has begun to present tea utensils such as tea bowls. Furthermore, since last year, we have also begun researching and producing tableware for serving food.
Just make tea and drink tea. As if there is a profound path there, I would like to tell you about Tsuda's work, which simply continues to make tea bowls and vessels.
