TAKADA KAE

Born in 1971 in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, Kae graduated from the Product Design Department at Nagoya Zokei University and from the Aichi Prefectural High Technical College of Ceramics in Seto City.

Having worked at a pottery factory in Seto City and running a pottery class in Nagoya City, Kae now makes ceramic works in Morimachi, Shizuoka Prefecture. Takada's works are hand built using tebineri or himozukuri techniques, creating characterful, angular forms in a range of soft, earthy tones.
