Seigan Yamane is a highly regarded ceramic artist who lives and works in Hagi town. Many years of trials and experiments with traditional materials and techniques can be seen in the artist's unique vessels. His pieces tend to be irregular in shape and are made of quite massive, often porous clay with small pebbles. They embody the Japanese aesthetic of wabi - sabi. The artist is famous for experimenting with a blue glaze, which has already earned him the name ‘Seigan blue’. Master Seigan believes that there is some undiscovered mystery in ceramic vessels and that the navy blue colour scheme evokes an unlimited universe. Seigan blue is the colour of the sky and the sea, a mélange of infinite possibilities of blue, navy blue and other nuances of colour. The artist derives great joy from his daily work and wishes to pass it on to all who use the vessels he makes :)

Due to the handmade nature of his work, each bowl is slightly different from the others - the unique distribution of the glaze on the vessel, the different balance of colours and the subtle differences in size and shape are a natural feature of the objects made by the artist's hand.
