{"title":"Nakagawa Masayoshi","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture in 1970. After graduating from the Faculty of Commerce at Osaka Gakuin University, I worked for a kimono manufacturer in Kyoto, but decided to pursue pottery due to my passion for creation. In 1995, I completed the Design Course at the Shiga Prefectural Shigaraki Ceramic Research Institute, and in 1996, the Small Pottery Wheel Course, and studied under Mr. Nobuo Furutani. In 2005, I became independent in Shigaraki and continue to create pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI established my own studio and shop, \"plus Lago,\" in Shigaraki. \"plus Lago\" comes from \"lago,\" meaning \"lake\" in Spanish, and evokes Lake Biwa, a symbol of Shiga Prefecture. This shop also features handicrafts by other artists within Shiga Prefecture, showcasing the region's charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile based on traditional Shigaraki ware techniques, my designs are characterized by their contemporary sensibility and playfulness.
