Biografi:

Matsui Kōsei (1927-2003) is recognised as a master ceramic artist for perfecting the revival of Neriage (marbled colored-clay ) originally found in ancient Chinese wares. He studied examples of Tang and Song ceramics as a priest at Gessō-ji Temple in Kasama and was encouraged by Tamura Koichi to pursue this medium of Neriage work. Matsui excelled in creating abstract and geometric surface patterning by applying to the surface numerous layered colored clays, often with a rough-hewn texture.
