予島團隊接著拜訪Gaku Ceramics的手工盤，同樣喜歡烹飪的Shakunaga Gaku San對於器皿的堅持保有傳統工藝：Etchū-Seto yaki （越中瀨戶燒）且結合他所學的的設計理念。
釋永岳（Shakunaga Gaku）先生出生於富山縣一個「越中瀨戶燒」的陶瓷世家。在成長過程中，他深受三維設計吸引，並於大學專攻雕塑。求學期間，他被日本傳統陶瓷的工藝技術與豐富材質深刻吸引，最終決定選擇以「土」作為展現自我創作的媒介。
大學畢業後，他回到父親的工房擔任學徒。為了尋找屬於自己的藝術形式，他選擇離開越中瀨戶燒的傳統框架，並在富山出發、富含歷史韻味的東岩瀨町獨立設窯。時至今日，他依然日復一日地探索著陶瓷創作的全新可能。
對他而言，恪守傳統絕非一味地墨守成規，而是在不設限的框架探索，開創前所未有的前沿技藝，創作出既能回應前人的脈絡，又能持續進步的作品。他同時堅信以誠摯而嚴肅的態度繼承前人的技術與設計是重要的使命。
YuDao Team visits the craftworks from Gaku Ceramics. Just like Chef Nick, Shakunaga Gaku San also enjoys cooking and has his own standard on maintaining the traditions on craft ships called Etchū-Seto yaki .
Shakunaga Gaku San was born and raised in a family inherits Ecchu-Seto Yaki that has been passed down through the generation in Toyama prefecture, he then was drawn into 3D design and studied sculpture in university. While at university, he became fascinated by the techniques and the richness of the materials utilised in traditional Japanese ceramics. He decided to express himself using soil.
After graduating from university, he worked as an apprentice at his father’s place. Then, he left Ecchu Seto Yaki in order to search for his own form, he became independent in Iwase, the area has an old and historical streetscape which Toyama proudly offers. he is always seeking totally new expressions of ceramic every day.
Keeping tradition for him is not only about keeping with the past, but also seeking their cutting-edge techniques that have never been done before, pursuing without any restriction and creating evolved objects which are not too far from what the predecessors created. He also thinks it is important to inherit the predecessors’ techniques and designs properly and with a sincere attitude.
For Shakunaga, preserving tradition means not only honoring the past but also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in ceramic art.
