小山乃文彥 Nobuhiko Oyama is a Japanese ceramic artist based in Tokoname, Aichi, known for his warm and quietly expressive kohiki vessels. He works with local clay and natural ash glazes made from plants like mandarin and beech, aiming to create a soft, linen-like white that still reveals the earthy character of the clay. Each part of the process is approached with care, allowing his pieces to feel calm, honest, and made for everyday life.
