Collection: Heian Rakudo Kenji Matsuoka Collection

Kenji Matsuoka of Heianrakudo runs a small pottery studio in a quiet residential area of Yamashina Ward, Kyoto City.

All of the pottery is unique, made with reliable molding techniques and a wide variety of color expressions.

I was born into a family that runs a Kyoto-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery studio and grew up surrounded by traditional crafts, but I don't limit myself to tradition and I try to make pottery that fits perfectly into modern life.
