Shigaraki in Shiga Prefecture
Shigaraki is known as one of the famous cities for ceramics in Japan, and there are many pottery shops along the big road running through the heart of Shigaraki, with many ceramic artists living in the area. Okuda was born and raised in Shiga prefecture, and his father was one of the Shigaraki ceramic artist & teachers. From a young age he watched his father work and was surrounded by ceramics each day. However it was not his dream to become a ceramic artist as a child.
