Yuki Hayama (Japanese:葉山有樹, born 1961) is a Japanese ceramic artist. His work combines traditional patterns with a unique historical and world view. [1] He is also an author and has written picture books and novels. [2]
The surfaces of his work depict natural or mythological patterns and pictures, covering the surface of the vessel with no gaps. [3] When creating some of his floral works, he utilizes 5 different pigmented glazes layered upon each other to create 72 different colors. His works may require as many as 12 firings in order to complete all the desired hues. [4]
Artist's view on patterns: "Rather than copying traditional patterns, we explore the original meaning of the patterns, search for their roots, take history into account, and add our own unique sensibilities to create them, thereby getting one step closer to true universality and eternal beauty." [5]
Hayama was born in 1961 in Arita, Nishimatsuura, Saga Prefecture.
In 1975, entered the Design Department of Saga Prefectural Arita Technical High School (night school) and joined a local potter's studio. [6]
In 1985, he opened Hayama Yuki Kiln in Yamauchi-cho, Takeo City, Saga Prefecture.
