Yuta Segawa is a Japanese ceramic artist specialising in producing miniature pottery. He learned advanced ceramic skills in Japan and China and developed it into techniques of miniature pots in London. All miniature pots are thrown individually by hand and he use more than five hundred original glazes he made. Miniature pottery relates to the issue of the relationship between artists’ bodies and their works. It is a challenge to test the limits of what a human body can make on such a small scale.
ミニチュア陶器の制作を専門とする日本の陶芸家です。日本と中国で高度な陶芸技術を学んだ後、ロンドンにてミニチュアの壺（ポット）を制作する独自の技術へと発展させました。すべてのミニチュア作品は一つひとつ手回しろくろ等を使って手作業で成形されており、彼自身が調合した500種類以上のオリジナル釉薬（ゆうやく）が使用されています。
ミニチュア陶器は、「芸術家の身体と作品との関係性」というテーマに深く結びついています。これほど小さなスケールで人間の身体がどこまで精密なものを作れるのか、その限界に挑む試みなのです。
