Susumu Notomi
A prestigious prize-winning ceramic artist from Japan, Mr. Notomi creates renowned blue-colored ceramics from the ‘Hagi’ area of the Yamaguchi Prefecture in western Japan.
Hagi-yaki is a traditional Japanese pottery. Susumu Notomi of Yamaguchi prefecture creates Hagi-yaki that is characterized by its distinctively delicate and deep blue, which is reminiscent of the blue sky, the ocean, or outer space. Notomi creates Ao-Hagi (Blue Hagi-yaki) by mixing soil with glaze, and by altering the balance he brings about rich gradation from deep indigo blue to pale blue like the white waves of the sea.
