Shoko Suzuki presents a comprehensive overview of the artist’s trajectory and work, a key figure in the history of Japanese-Brazilian ceramics, highlighting her decisive contribution to the introduction and development of the noborigama kiln in Brazil. Organized by Eduardo Vasconcellos (researcher at Gomide&Co), the volume brings together a critical essay by Tie Jojima (Curator of Global Contemporary Art at The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.), as well as a previously unpublished interview with the artist, conducted by Rachel Hoshino (curator and researcher of Japanese diasporic ceramics in Brazil).
The publication also includes a wide selection of artwork reproductions, biographical material, and the artist’s exhibition history. By situating her practice at the intersection of ceramic work and diasporic experience, the book highlights how displacement, technique, time, and material shape a singular language, developed over decades through rigor, experimentation, and engagement with earth and fire.
Published by Act Arte, the book was produced with executive production by the galleries Gomide&Co, in São Paulo, and Salon 94, in New York.
