Born in Kyoto in 1970, Shin Murata graduated from the ceramics department of Kyoto Seika University. He currently lives on the outskirts of Kyoto with his family. Following his studies, he established his own studio in 1998, devoting himself to the practice of ceramics and its mythical culture. In 2013, he traveled to the Muan district of Korea to rediscover the roots of Japanese pottery. There he built a kiln to make objects from the local clay, which is of exceptional quality.
