Hiroyuki Tomita

Everyone was once a boy or girl. The days when our hearts fluttered with the boy detective club fighting the Fiend with Twenty Faces, and we longed for the yet unseen adult world while also fearing it. Eventually, as we grow up, realize that such excitement and thrill have faded away.

Hiroyuki Tomita is a ceramic artist who, with the heart of an eternal boy, creates in the real world the fantasies he dreamed of that day. His works are loved by many chefs, tea masters, and ikebana artists for their precise coloring techniques using gold, silver, and platinum, dynamic forms, and works that assert their existence beyond their intended use. This is superb ceramic entertainment that can be enjoyed only by those who have reached adulthood.

The golden "Majin”(Genie) is still waiting for you in a corner of the park.
