About
Taiga Mori carries forward three generations of ceramic artistry in Bizen, Japan, blending centuries-old traditions with modern innovation. He apprenticed under Gyokusyu Kimura, a renowned Japanese ceramic artist known for his work in Bizen pottery; and in 2000, inherited his grandfather's noborigama kiln named “Furraigama,” which he continues to use today.
Since his first solo exhibition in Tokyo in 2001, Taiga has shared his craft globally, from France, England to the United States, Costa Rica, Taiwan, and beyond— exhibiting, teaching, kiln-building and working as artist-in-residence. At his Bizen studio, he creates both sculptural art and functional pottery while welcoming international students.
The Mori family (formerly known as Terami) is one of six historic Bizen pottery families officially recognized during the Edo period. It is with the utmost honor that Taiga carries on this official kiln lineage. Through creative partnerships and international exchanges, Taiga is reshaping the future of Bizen ceramics with a spirit of collaboration and openness. His work is permanently shown at Gallery Kai in Bizen City and at his studio gallery, which sits across from the new Bizen City Museum of Art.
