Takashi Endo

Kanagawa-based ceramicist Takashi Endo immerses his creative vision in the essence of "enso," the Japanese interpretation of the circle. It carries expressions of minimalism, elegance, and a strength which drives enlightenment. Delicate lines and sturdy fabrication make each object by Takashi Endo stand out. 

Self-taught, his potter's work is characterized by thinness, its lightweight and rigid forms, rough textures, and monochromatic tones. Unlike many Japanese potters, Endo admits he is less concerned with the daily functionality of his vessels than producing work that satisfies his creative vision. Endo's work makes a lovely addition to any home nonetheless, whether integrated into daily life or reserved for special occasions.
