YUZO KOMADA
Cluster Exhibitor | Cluster Crafts | 2022
Yuzo Komada is a Japanese woodworker born in 1985.
He makes vessels and vases using woodworking rokuro.
His first encounter with woodworking began in 2010 when he was in the wood processing industry. At that point he processed wood to make furniture.
Then, in 2017, he started a custom furniture manufacturing company and became independent.
He spent time making furniture for many stores, offices and homes.
While making furniture, he started making woodworking lathes from around 2020.
Komada has always been interested in making vessels with wood lathes.
He likes wood and vessels, so he devoted himself to the production activities of woodworking lathes and continued to make them.
There is no teacher who teaches woodworking lathes, so he continued to learned the technique himself.
The artist’s design source has a Japanese spirit and a background of Japanese culture.
His Japanese spirit and sensibility are influenced by his family running a kimono shop and a Japanese restaurant, and he has naturally come into contact with Japanese tableware and Japanese culture from an early age.
He is working hard on his creative activities by fusing such an aesthetic sense as a Japanese person with the idea of how to utilise the unique wood.
