02. The Maker

Master Kenjiro

"The clay speaks. My job is simply to listen."

With over 40 years of experience, Master Kenjiro shapes each piece on a kick-wheel, ensuring that the rhythm of his body is imprinted into the form of the vessel.

03. The Surface

Wabi-Sabi Aesthetics

The glaze is a natural ash glaze, resulting from the wood ash in the kiln settling on the piece during the 3-day firing process. The "imperfections"—crackles, asymmetry, and color variations—are intentional celebrations of nature's unpredictability.
