Artist Profile: Yoshitaka Yamaoka (Zensho Kiln)

Yoshitaka Yamaoka — Zensho Kiln

Born in 1966 in Kyoto. After graduating from technical and industrial research institutes, he spent years honing his craft in the traditional Kiyomizu-yaki district. In 1994, he began studying under his father, the renowned master Zensho Yamaoka, at the family kiln in Iwakura, Kyoto. His work is celebrated for its intricate detail and sophisticated use of color.

Shop Owner’s Note

This bowl is a stunning homage to the traditional "Rimpa" school of art. Set against a soft white ceramic base, it features cherry blossoms drifting through a golden mist. The gold leaf background captures the ethereal, glowing atmosphere of a spring morning, making the white blossoms appear remarkably noble.

Yamaoka-san has masterfully translated the decorative beauty loved by 17th-century Japanese painters into a modern masterpiece. It is the perfect vessel for celebrating the arrival of spring or for a joyful tea moment with your favorite artisanal sweets.
