Yoko came to Kyoto where she initially studied painting at the Kyoto Tankidai Art College, then moved to ceramics at the Kyoto Municipal Art University where she studied traditional pottery techniques under Kondo Yutaka before entering advanced courses under Yagi Kazuo, graduating in 1979.  Her first solo exhibitions were held while still a student, at Gallery Iteza in Kyoto.  She eschewed the world of competitive exhibitions in favor of the intimacy of private galleries, and her list of solo exhibitions is expansive.  She received the Yagi Kazuo prize in 1986 and 1988 at the Nihon Gendai Togeiten.  She was one of five artists featured in Toh, volume 76, The first issue dedicated to Kyoto Potters.  Toh was at the time the most in depth survey of important contemporary potters published in 1993. Her work is held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shigemori Yoko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50952979480823,"sku":"MC1680","price":73800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/7472\/3063\/files\/2026-06-2014.47.40.jpg?v=1784538071","url":"https:\/\/kuramonzen.com\/products\/deep-circle-circle-chawan-tea-bowl-%e3%83%bc%e9%87%8d%e6%a3%ae-%e9%99%bd%e5%ad%90-%e4%b8%b8%e4%b8%b8-%e7%ad%92%e8%8c%b6%e7%a2%97","provider":"Kura Monzen Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
