Kyo-Gawara
Masahisa Asada
He is a craftsman who has been making Kyoto roof tiles in Kyoto since 1911. As the eldest son in the family, Mr. Asada is the third generation to develop and expand all kinds of products in addition to tiles for houses. He is taking on the challenge of fusing tiles with new objects, such as coasters and planters, to show the potential of roof tiles to all oer the world. Starting with the development of new products, Mr. Asada hopes for a future in which tiles in Japanese architecture will once again be appreciated.
