The contemporary artist Hiruma Kazuyo began her ceramic practice in 1976, when she worked under the guidance of ceramic artists Sugaki and Hisano Mizuno in Osaka. Her works consist of labor-intensive abstract and sculptural pieces that evoke glacial lakes, mountainous ravines, and more. She founded her own kiln in 1988 and has since exhibited and received awards internationally. Hiruma has participated in the Japan Crafts Exhibition, International Ceramic Art Festival Mino, Asahi Ceramic Art Exhibition, Itami Craft Exhibition, Kyoto Craft Exhibition, Japan Craft Exhibition, Mashiko Ceramic Competition, Chozo Ceramic Art Exhibition,Taiwan Ceramic Biennale, Kikuchi Biennale, Kobe Biennale, and Wellington Ceramics Exchange in New Zealand. Hiruma’s work is held in numerous international collections, including the Wellington City Collection in New Zealand, Japanese Embassy of New Zealand, New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum in Taiwan, and Sakai City Collection in Osaka.
