In 2000, He graduated from Osaka University of Arts from the Ceramics Course, and permanently set up his practice in Takamatsu, Kawaga in 2007. Here, he built an anagama wood-fired kiln and has continually experimented with the unpredictable nature of wood-firing in his work since. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columnmaker spanmaker_1_of_2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"columnmaker spanmaker_1_of_2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEvident in the way he allows ash, flame, heat, and time to impact his works, Taro’s ceramic works simultaneously explore simplicity and tension between their simple forms and the elemental character of the firing process. The true nature of wood-firing emerges against the cool, understated tones of his pieces, and is elevated upon the quiet yet powerful sense of form within his practice. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTaro Tabuchi has exhibited extensively in Japan and internationally, including solo shows in Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai and New York.
