Itō Keiji (born in Toki in 1935) who studied painting at the Musashino Art School (Musashino Art University today) was involved in the designing of pottery and ceramic wares at the Gifu Prefectural Ceramic Experimental Station, and in the 1960s he began creating three-dimensional pottery wares, becoming a leader in modern Mino pottery art. His works carry strong messages, such as anti-war, anti-nuclear, and know one’s own limits. His work Composition is part of the Soku (Foot) series based on “Buddha’s feet”.
