EIJI MATSUMURA (松村英治)
Eiji Matsumura, born in 1970 in Kumamoto City, Japan, is a talented ceramic artist based in Handa City, Aichi Prefecture. His artistic path began with travels across Asia from 1992 to 1993, followed by a trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan in 1996, which profoundly shaped his artistic vision.
Matsumura pursued formal studies in sculpture, graduating from the Graduate School of Sculpture at Kanazawa College of Art in 1997. He further refined his ceramic techniques at the Tokoname City Ceramic Research Institute, graduating in 1999.
He believes that his creations should not only be functional and durable but also serve as artistic pieces on the table, even when not in use. With a distinctive approach that blends traditional craftsmanship with a global perspective, Matsumura consistently produces unique works characterized by his innovative forms and techniques.
