He descends from a long line of ceramicists, and began studying at an early age with his father. His early work adheres to the more traditional Song dynasty style of celadon, but he has been making inventive and original use of the medium since the early 1980s. Shinobu finds inspiration in nature, often taking formal clues from flora and fauna and translating them into elegant ceramic works of art.
He has enjoyed great critical success and his award-winning ceramics can be found in many prominent public and private collections. His work showcases modern, graceful organic forms that establish him as an outstanding master of contemporary celadon in Japan. -
