OI Yasuhiro

(1983-) Koruri Village Creative Village (Shiga Prefecture) member, creating ceramic works and collages. In ceramics, he expresses figures like Ganesha and wild boars by repeatedly stacking pre-prepared clay parts onto a core material. Motifs broken down into minute parts are reconfigured by Oi's hands, reborn into new forms. Major exhibition history includes “HELLO Kaigen” (2017, Shiga, Borderless Art Museum NO-MA).
YATSUMIMI Yoshiaki
YATSUMIMI Yoshiaki, Untitled, 2022, Collection of Yamabiko Welfare Association.
Born in 1981 ‒ Died in 2024. Affiliated with Yamabiko Workshop in Shiga Prefecture, Yatsumimi continued to create ceramic works during his battle with illness. Completely blind, he relied on the sense of touch in his palms to create forms by stacking coils of clay. Even as his condition worsened and he struggled to continue production, he held an exhibition, again, in November 2024, limited to only two hours as his strength allowed. Other exhibitions include“Yamabiko Exhibition”(2024, Ryuo Town Community Center, Shiga).
