Biography:
Soko Takamori entered the world of ceramics at the age of 21. After seven years of apprenticeship, she studied history of Arita-yaki and set up her own Kama,,Klin in Tokyo, where she creates ceramics that suit everyday life but also follow traditions. The relationship between light and ceramics are the most important issue for her. "No works can exist without the influences of light and shadow. I try to make my works gather, reflect and scatter light." .Her works looks quite simple, which is possible because of her high ability as a craftsman. "My craftsmanship never extinguish my originality as an artist. I'd rather say the simpler works become by skilled technique, the more myself come out." This might be the reason why the simplicity of her ceramics attracts us a lot.
