Born in Okayama in 1978.  Making sculptures by using ceramic as a material.  Finished her master’s degree at Okayama Prefectural University. She is now a lecturer at Okayama Prefectural University’s Design department.

Sakumoto’s work is not made for usage but the pure sculptures produced from a process of searching for a unique expression.  Unique colored stripes and beautiful forms are being born in a very original virtuosity of ceramic making which is hardly imagined from the first impression of her works.  Constructed with very simple elements which have tense, beauty, and high originality.
