A ceramicist based in Daito, Osaka Prefecture. A background in painting and experience making ceramics in Mexico both infuse her style. Her refined vessels, evocative of European antiques, have been described as possessing "a beauty as if lifted from a Western still-life painting," and are characterized by richly nuanced textures and sophisticated tones. Her MAHOROBA series, in which iron and pigments are kiln-fired without glaze, is also popular.
