Momoko Takeshita Keane

Momoko Takeshita Keane was raised in the ancient capital of Kyoto, Japan, and grew up surrounded by the many traditional crafts of that city. She began studying as a potter in the famous kiln-town of Shigaraki at a time when few women were to be found as apprentices there. That was back in the early 1980's. After that, she spent a couple years studying in the Kyoto Laboratory of Traditional Crafts learning many aspects of traditional glazes and clay bodies. And then, she went out on her own, starting her own studio in Kyoto and holding annual exhibitions in Kyoto and the surrounding area. In 2002, she moved to Ithaca, NY, with her husband, Marc Peter Keane and built a new studio next to their house.
