In 1987, his work was shown in the Kuroda Toen (Pottery Gallery) in Shibuya. Iga-yaki is a style of pottery where the ceramic is fired at high temperatures causing it to crystalize in a red hue, with brown-grey burn marks caused by log ashes, and the melting effect of the vidro (feldspatic glass). It has been a popular pottery style since the Tsutsui-Momoyama period of Japan. Iga-yaki utilizes the native Iga clay and is fired over three days in a kiln dug into the ground. (Yellin 2000) Shuhei Fujioka's Iga-yaki pottery has been shown in Japan, New York, and at many group galleries. His work is also on permanent exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
