Yasutaka Baba is a ceramicist living and working in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. His aesthetic is intriguing for the way it combines sculptural beauty with an immaculate sense of detail and craftsmanship. After initially forming a porcelain base by hand, Yasutaka hand cuts hundreds, if not thousands, of little rectangular porcelain blocks of varying sizes. He then attaches each piece, one by one, to his damp clay surfaces in a random fashion. His pieces have been exhibited all over the world and feature in public collections at the Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern in Germany and the Toshin Mino Ceramic Art Museum and Mosaic Tile Museum Tajimi in Japan.
