Takayama Kou
Kou Takayama is the precursor of a family of potters in the Mie prefecture, embarking on a tradition since 1962 when he apprenticed under Yuji Kondo and Shouji Kamorita.

Yasuhisa Kohyama
The traditional wood-firing techniques of historical potters from his native Shigaraki, are evident in the work of Yasuhisa Kohyama (b. 1936). He has played an important part in reviving the use of the traditional Japanese "Anagama" wood fired kiln, being the first potter in the area to build such a kiln since medieval times. Kohyama's powerful and sculptural work has been exhibited widely in Japan and overseas including at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Galerie Besson first showed his work in 1992.
