Yamada Yoshiaki is a master of porcelain, his works a testament to the intricate beauty of nature's flora and fauna. Each piece weaves a delicate tapestry of life, capturing not just the visual but also the auditory essence of rustling leaves and melodious birdsong. His art invites viewers to serene, natural reveries.
A connoisseur of negative space, Yamada's realism is both striking and profound. His exquisite craftsmanship has earned him widespread acclaim, including the distinguished honor of having his work included in the collection of the Imperial Household Agency.
Yamada's studio, a sanctuary nestled at the foot of the majestic Mount Hakusan. Surrounded by nature's splendor, his artistry is not merely a craft but a way of life, his soul in perfect harmony with his surroundings.
Yamada was born into a family steeped in the tradition of Kutani ware, with his father also being a master artisan. He began his craft at the age of 20, working in the family business in Sano, a region renowned for akae, or red painting. During that prosperous period, the use of stamps streamlined the decoration process, facilitating mass production.
However, after marrying at twenty five and having a child the next year, he began to question whether he should continue solely with stamp-based mass production. This marked a turning point for him, prompting him to delve into the study of traditional hand-painting techniques.
