Tanaka Daiki

TATA pottery studio is a collaborative unit of a ceramic artist and a painter.

Daiki Tanaka, the ceramic artist, is mainly responsible for shaping at TATA pottery studio, and Katsura Tanabe is responsible for painting.

We strive to create vessels that are easy to use and inspire affection.
Tanaka's style involves creating pottery using molds and a potter's wheel. His work is characterized by its simplicity, which reveals its beauty the more it is used. He also pays close attention to the glazes, which are specially blended to enhance the painted designs.

At TATA pottery studio, we aim to create vessels that enrich the hearts of those who use them. Our work includes both porcelain and earthenware series, each with a distinct impression, offering a variety of styles to suit individual preferences.

Katsura Tanabe, the painter, still works as a painter at a kiln in Higashiyama, Kyoto, which has been in operation for over a hundred years. This area inherits the tradition of Kiyomizu ware. The deep history of pottery in this region has also influenced our work.
