Yoshiyuki Shimizu

Yoshiyuki Shimizu (born 1966) is a master potter and tea roaster based in the Dōsenbō district of Minami-Yamashiro Village, Kyoto Prefecture. Shimizu’s ceramic practice is deeply rooted in the raw, elemental materials of his locale: he uses local clays, ash from his own firewood as glaze, and designs his kilns to explore the unpredictable beauty of fire and form. He is also celebrated for his unique approach to roasting houjicha - crafting each batch by hand, slowly roasted over a clay pan. Utilizing local Dōsenbō tea, like his pottery, his houjicha reflects the place he calls home

An unwavering commitment to quality.
