Takeuchi Toshihiko, born in 1932, is a specialist in Kyoto ware, commonly referred to as Kyōyaki. His tea ceramics are rooted in Kyoto’s tea ceremony traditions, and his tea caddies, tea bowls, and water jars are prized. At 20 years old, he began working independently as a potter, earning awards at the Kansai Art Exhibition, Kyoto Art Exhibition, and others. He later apprenticed under Kawakita Handeishi, and in the same year, he held his first solo exhibition at Osaka’s Maruzen Art Gallery. Among the youngest of Kawakita's students, his talent was apparent early on.
In 1971, Takeuchi established his own kiln in Ohara, Kyoto, where he continues to create pottery today. His work is primarily showcased in solo and group exhibitions across Japan.
