Born in 1975 in Hanbara, Mizunami, Kondo studied ceramics at Tajimi Technical High School before later training under his father, potter Seiko Kondo of Hanzawa Kiln, who had himself apprenticed under the influential ceramic artist and scholar Koyama Fujio. Rooted in this lineage, Hirohisa Kondo creates works that honor the depth of Mino pottery while expressing a quiet strength of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theeverymarkesnap.com\/pages\/hirohisa-kondo\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eLearn more about the artist →\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg height=\"276\" width=\"368\" alt=\"Hirohisa Kondo, Japanese ceramic artist, carefully shaping a large clay vessel in his pottery workshop\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/8446\/4694\/files\/black_and_white_Kondo_480x480.jpg?v=1624756706\" style=\"margin-right: 91.8px; margin-left: 91.8px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"942\" data-start=\"892\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kondo-sourai-sake-cup","title":"Sourai sake cup","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Sourai (the sound of autumn wind) \u003cem\u003esake\u003c\/em\u003e cup with an elevated base is rare, and because of its shape, it is not only easy to hold but also very stylish.
