Profile
OKADA, Yasushi is the son of OKADA, Yuh who is Intangible Cultural Asset as a holder of Hagi Ware Techniques.
He majored in a sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University, and studied ceramics at Kyoto.
Having accumulated experiences, he had gradually improved his skill.

His original technique "Tanseiyu" puts modern art into his ceramic with the clay of Hagi.
