Based in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture, I strive to create pieces that combine usability with beauty.
I use a special glaze called "hyoretsu kannyu" (ice-crackle glaze) to produce unique pieces with a distinctive cracked ice-like surface. The patterns created by the clay and glaze are unique to each piece, and I value their ability to enrich everyday life.
My main style involves pieces made with hyoretsu kannyu glaze, characterized by a unique expression that blends coolness and warmth. While the forms are simple, the texture of the glaze is richly expressed.

About this Work
Made with an ice-crackle glaze drawn from bubbles rising through water, this piece is marked by a fine pattern like cracked ice, with a deep blue gradation spreading beautifully across it.
The form is simple, but the glaze carries a rich texture, and there is something new to find each time you pick it up. This mug is well suited to tea time, and to an unhurried moment of your own.
