Shimada Koichi’s work is deeply influenced by Song dynasty ceramics, an artistic passion that led him to leave his career in construction to fully dedicate himself to ceramics. His creative journey took him across Japan in search of natural materials, ultimately leading him to establish his kiln in Shimada City. Shimada’s practice embodies a distinctive interpretation of Song ceramics, incorporating his own experimental techniques.
His works have been featured in major exhibitions, including the Japan Traditional Craft New Works Exhibition, the Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition, and the Chunichi International Exhibition. In addition to his solo exhibition at Shizuoka Matsuzakaya, his Seiji Pink Jar (1987) is part of the permanent collection at the Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art.
