About this experience

We want to share the joy of the enchanting beauty of ceramics born from nature.

Often our daily lives are spent solely in the world inside our smartphones. So I wish to create an experience connected with nature and outside of the screens.
I want to share the joy of the enchanting beauty of ceramics born from nature. Earth and water are the roots of nature, and turned into pottery by fire. It is incredible and simply inspiring to see soft clay transform into beautiful pottery. The experience of witnessing the feel, the colors, and the wonder is about 10,000 times different than just seeing the final product. Your imagination expands and it’s mind-blowing.
The world of ceramics is beautiful and interesting - it is very enriching to have vessels that come from nature in our daily lives. I want to share that joy with you all.
The idea of coexistence not only between humans, but also between humans and nature, and all things that have "life".
