篠田銕石の略歴　(Shinoda tesseki)

篠田銕石（1897年〈明治30年〉– 1993年〈平成5年〉）は、日本の篆刻家・陶芸家である。

銕石の父・篠田得斉は、千代村（現在の長野県飯田市千代）において、尾林焼の流れを汲む天竜峡焼の篆刻陶器を創始した一人であった。銕石もまた得斉と同様に篆刻を熱心に学び、それを生業とすることを志すようになる。

大正末期、篆刻家・関野香雲が松本に滞在していたことを機に、彼に師事するため家督を次男の篠田欽（きん）に譲り、松本へ移住した。当初、三男の篠田啓とともに、職人が轆轤で成形した器に篆刻を施す篆刻陶器の制作や、篆刻を活かした看板制作の仕事に従事していた。

やがて、銕石の仕事は篆刻陶器から、釉薬を用いた絵付け陶器の制作へと発展していく。これは、昭和戦前期に松本市の鶴林堂書店で個展を開いていた京都・粟田焼の陶工、二代目伊東陶山に師事したことが契機となった。その後、独学に近い形で轆轤の技術を習得し、松本において「女鳥羽焼（めとばやき）」と称する焼き物を創始するなど、陶芸の分野にも本格的に取り組むようになった。

Shinoda Tesseki (1897–1993) – Japanese Seal Engraver and Ceramic Artist

Shinoda Tesseki was a distinguished Japanese seal engraver (tenkoku artist) and ceramicist, active throughout the 20th century.

Born in 1897 in Chiyo Village (now Iida City, Nagano Prefecture), Tesseki was the son of Shinoda Tokusai, one of the founders of Tenryukyō-yaki, a ceramic tradition descended from Obayashi-yaki. Tokusai specialized in ceramics adorned with engraved seals, and his son Tesseki followed in his footsteps, immersing himself in the art of tenkoku and aspiring to make it his life’s work.

In the late Taisho era, when the noted seal carver Sekino Kōun resided in Matsumoto, Tesseki moved there to become his student, passing on the family business to his second son, Shinoda Kin. Together with his third son, Shinoda Kei, he initially focused on creating seal-engraved ceramics—wheel-thrown forms produced by skilled craftsmen, then decorated with engraved seal designs. They also applied tenkoku techniques to signage and other commercial crafts.

Over time, Tesseki’s work evolved from engraved ceramics to include painted ceramics using glazes. A key influence was Itō Tōzan II, a potter of Awata ware from Kyoto, who held exhibitions at the Kakurindō Bookstore in Matsumoto before World War II. Inspired by Tōzan, Tesseki began learning pottery more deeply, eventually mastering the potter’s wheel through largely self-directed study.

He went on to establish his own style of pottery in Matsumoto, which he named Metobayaki (女鳥羽焼)—a unique local ware that marked his full-fledged entry into the field of ceramic art.
