笹山 芳人 Yoshito Sasayama


三重県四日市市にて作陶する笹山芳人さん。笹山さんは、土鍋の産地として知られる伊賀・丸柱にある窖窯で薪を焚き、焼成を重ねています。焼締めをはじめ、灰釉や化粧土、引き出し黒など多様な技法を取り入れ、土の質感や表情を大切にしながら制作を続けています。土が手元に届き、それに見合う形を模索するという姿勢の中で、産地名や技法にとらわれることなく、ひとつひとつの器が生まれていきます。

Yoshito Sasayama is a ceramic artist based in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. He fires his work in a traditional anagama (cave kiln) in Marubashira, Iga, a region known for its donabe (earthenware pots). Using wood-fired techniques, he repeatedly fires his pieces, exploring a wide range of methods including unglazed yakishime, natural ash glazes, white slip decoration, and hikidashi-guro (pulled-black). His work emphasizes the texture and expression of the clay itself. Rather than being bound by regional names or specific techniques, Sasayama’s approach is rooted in a dialogue with the clay—each form emerging through his search for what best suits the material at hand.
