Artisan Story
I create yakishime (high-fired, unglazed) ceramic vessels that blend traditional techniques with a modern aesthetic.
Yakishime is a firing technique that does not use glaze. Instead, charcoal and the ceramic piece are placed in a sago pot and fired at high temperatures. The resulting colors are diverse, ranging from pale beige and gray gradations to striking white and black contrasts. Each vessel is unique, with no two having the same pattern or color. These vessels, born from a technique that maximizes the power of nature, reveal deeper beauty the more you observe them. Their beauty only enhances with use, allowing them to be cherished for a long time as a piece that accompanies your daily life.
Though characterized by a moist texture, these vessels are versatile for both everyday use and special occasions.
