Tatsuo Tomeoka
Tatsuo Tomeoka is the owner of WaSabiDou Antiques & Folk Crafts. He appreciates old craft traditions, as well as promoting contemporary craftspeople. While majoring in Japan Studies at the University of Washington's Jackson School, Tatsuo centered much of his studies on the Japanese Folk Craft Movement. After graduation, he lived in the pottery town of Mashiko from 1999-2000, and afterwards lived in Yokohama (while traveling to various parts of Japan) until his return to Seattle in late 2002. His family originally comes from Miyagi Prefecture, and he is an enthusiastic collector of rural folk toys, such as the kokeshi from this region. He enjoys antique and contemporary crafts, meeting contemporary artists in all forms of media, and sharing ideas on mingei. He and his wife, Apple, live in a rural area about an hour outside of Seattle with their two children, Shino Claire and Yumeji Clay.
