Hirotaka Tobimatsu
Born in 1980 in Saga Prefecture, Japan, Hirotaka Tobimatsu studied ceramics at Tama Art University and is now based in Tokyo.
Inspired by antique milk-glass lampshades once popular in Japan, he spent a decade researching porcelain materials and refining his slip-casting techniques. In 2014, he presented his first porcelain lampshades, exploring the material’s unique translucency.
