In the rich natural environment of Aomori, Japan's northernmost point, surrounded by the World Heritage Site of the Shirakami-Sanchi mountains and Mount Iwaki, I create pottery. My kiln,located in the mountains, utilizes a primitive "Anagama" kiln for firing stoneware. Each piece, shaped by nature and crafted by hand, reveals a unique character and expression. I hope these earthy vessels can beautifully enhance your dishes and plants.
