▶Craftsman Profile
Masahisa Asada / Kyogawara
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.
▶Craftsman Passion
"We believe in the tile technology that has been handed down for over 1300 years and we will leave it to the next generation"
First of all, I believe it is important to have the perseverance to believe in this technique. If you give up, that's the end, and I think young people will see that. Instead of the old way of teaching the next generation with our backs, we will take videos and leave it to the next generation in a way that is easy to understand both visually and sensitively.
▶History of Kyo-Tiles
Tiles were introduced to Japan at the end of the 6th century and developed uniquely in Japan due to increased demand from temple architecture. The subsequent establishment of the capital in 794 (Heian era) led to the flourishing of the Kyoto tile industry, and even today tiles are used in many places, mainly onigawara and eaves tiles, which are laid across the entire roof.
