Hisaaki Kamei was born as the ﬁrst son of Takatoriyaki Miraku Kamei XV. Takatori started as Kuroda Clan’s kiln and has been creating pottery for tea ceremony for 400 years. Based on a tea master Enshu Kobori’s kirei sabi (bright sabi), each generation has inherited from previous masters several techniques, including symmetrical shapes, thin structures, and gradation using seven different traditional glazes. Each master has moved forward creating his own pottery. Hisaaki Kamei received a B.A. at the School of Business at Hosei University and graduated from the Forming Department, Kyoto Prefecture Pottery School. He is a Board Member of the Japan-France Tea Ceremony Association and has recently lectured in Cameroon and France.
