Workshop Information

My name is Jun Iguchi and I work as a ceramic artist in Hamamatsu.

The workshop is marked by black burnt cedar.

A style based on Bizen ware

I trained in Bizen, Okayama Prefecture for ten years.

Bizen ware is a simple type of pottery that is neither glazed nor painted.

It is fired at high temperatures of over 1,000°C, making it durable and resistant to cracking.

Various patterns are created depending on the ash and straw used during firing.

I am currently challenging myself to create new pieces using glazes, focusing on Bizen ware, which is the pottery I have trained in.

My name is Jun and I work as a ceramic artist in Hamamatsu. After studying pottery in Seto and Kyoto, I trained in Bizen, Okayama Prefecture for around ten years. I create my pottery using wood-fired kilns, which are rare these days. On social media I post information about the pottery production process, my works, and exhibitions. Please feel free to follow me. I also love to eat, so I can introduce you to some delicious restaurants, tea and Japanese sweet shops in Hamamatsu.
