Artist Profile
Sakata Jinnai (1943-) was born in Tokyo and began his ceramic journey in 1964 under the tutelage of Kamoda Shoji, one of Japan's most influential modern potters. In 1966, Sakata established his own climbing kiln in Mashiko Town, where he has continued to create innovative works that bridge traditional and contemporary aesthetics.
Throughout his career, Sakata has expanded beyond ceramics to work with glass, paper, LED lighting, and mixed media installations. His exhibitions include regular solo shows at prestigious venues such as Nihonbashi Takashimaya (since 1987), a 1994 opening exhibition at New York's Takashimaya Art Gallery, and a 35th anniversary exhibition at Waseda University's Aizu Yaichi Memorial Museum in 2001.
Sakata's works have been dedicated to major Japanese shrines, including the Grand Shrines of Ise and Izumo, reflecting the spiritual and cultural significance of his artistic vision. His unique "deep texture with foil and glass" technique has earned him recognition as a versatile artist who continually explores new materials while maintaining deep respect for traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
