A Kyoto-based ceramicist who moved into pottery after working at an interior design firm. Drawing inspiration from natural phenomena woven into everyday life—sound, light, wind, humidity, and scent—she hand-builds jars, vases, mugs, and plates, primarily using the pinching method. Her signature technique involves layering multiple slip coatings that are fired to produce a striking black-and-white contrast, with the interplay of light and shadow as her central artistic theme.
