Masumi Ando
Masumi Ando sculpts clay into moments of quiet wonder. The fourth-generation master of Hosshouji Shoka, a pottery studio founded in 1903 at the foot of Japan’s Daisen mountains, works alongside his daughter while carrying forward more than a century of craft. Shaping Japanese ceramics from local soil rich in volcanic ash, each piece is fired and glazed with care. More than just pottery, his work turns everyday spaces into galleries of lived experience.
