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 jellyfish drifting among flowers and through the sea, this piece is marked by a fine pattern like cracked ice, with a greyish pale lilac 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.
