Shin Murata is a young, up and coming potter based in Kyoto, Japan. He has received numerous publicities in recent years and is becoming increasingly popular for his simple yet unique designs. Murata’s apprenticeship started in 1994 under master potter Yoshitaka Araki.

In 1998, he opened his first kiln site in Shugakuin in Northern Kyoto and held his first solo exhibition in 2000. He is best known for his original style of Yakishime (high-fired unglazed stoneware), Seihakuji (blue and white porecelain) and Kohiki (iron-rich clay covered with white glaze then translucent glaze).
