Itsuko Zenitani

Itsuko Zenitani relocated to the US from Kyoto, Japan in the early 1980s. At that time, she learned Ceramic Artwork at the Potters’ Studio in Berkeley, California. After a decade of developing her artwork styles and techniques, Itsuko started working as a professional ceramic artist in the early 1990s.
She creates a wide array of Modern Ceramics that are also fully functional. Her most beautiful hand decorations are with Celadon or Tenmoku glazes and intricate hand-carvings. Most pieces are carefully “High” fired in gas kilns to achieve the desired look and hardness.
