About the artist
Kaneta Masanao
兼田 昌尚
Ceramics as a sculpture of light and shadow.
Between tradition and contemporary vision
Originally from Hagi (Yamaguchi Prefecture), Kaneta Masanao comes from a family of ceramists, the son of master Kaneta Seihō. Trained in the Hagi stoneware tradition, he broke free from it to develop a resolutely sculptural approach, transforming the clay block into a space of tension and movement. While respecting the heritage of Hagi tea and earth, he offers a radical reinterpretation that creates a dialogue between memory and modernity.
