About “Hideaki Miyamura”
About
Hideaki Miyamura is a studio potter. Stemming from the artist’s interest in rare ancient Chinese tea bowl glazes, he seeks to create glazes that have three-dimensionality and convey purity and peacefulness. Miyamura’s forms can be characterized as classic, calm, and balanced in aesthetic. His vessels are disarmingly simple, contemplative objects whose finishes reflect the panoply of the natural world—geologic phenomena, star-filled nights, undulating ocean waves, and fiery sunsets.

Young ages
Born in 1955 in Niigata, Japan, Miyamura traveled to the United States to study art history at Western Michigan University. After college, he returned to Japan to pursue his interest in ceramics as an apprentice with master potter Shurei Miura in Yamanashi.
Fame
During that five-year period, Miyamura experimented with over 10,000 test pieces, using countless formulas to develop original glazes. He is now known throughout Japan and the United States for the experimental and illustrious glazes of his surfaces, which possess an iridescent quality. Miyamura’s works are found in several prestigious collections, such as the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
