A Mashiko ware artist born and based in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture. After graduating from the Urasenke school of tea ceremony, she trained at the Tochigi Ceramic Industry Support Center and studied under both Shinsaku Hamada and Tomoo Hamada. She began making ceramics alongside her father in 2015. Her signature technique is zogan (inlay): without preliminary sketches, she carves patterns directly into pieces made from locally sourced Mashiko materials and fills them with white slip, bringing a fresh vitality to the traditional Mashiko ware tradition.
