Plate 絵皿



Work in progress🌺
Carving is a precious process that allows me to 
feel the vitality of clay and the source of inspiration of the design, 
which in this case the tree and the butterflies🌳

粘土や柄のもとになった

2000 year-old camphor tree 大楠




🌳Witnessing something so grand and magnificent 
gently washes away all the little things 
that I’ve been thinking about and allows me to just be me.
🌳

I hope the photos bring you some good energy too!

New plate お皿






🍀

Close up of some of my newly fired pieces 🙂
(A plate)
🍀
What I love about ceramics is that 
I get to witness and experience the amazing natural forces 
that is beyond human’s control. 
Every time I open my kiln there’s a happy surprise. 

Seeing the fired works makes me realize that 
each of us is just a tiny part of this big natural world. 
Sometimes you just need to let go of 
trying to control everything and instead, 
allow things unfold naturally.

A cloud


After spending some time purely focused on creation,
 it made me wonder if each person has something
 like a cloud above their head which is
 a never-ending source of ideas waiting to join the ‘real’ world. 
⛅️
I was receiving ideas ceaselessly from that cloud 
and my only work was to express them
 in whatever way that felt comfortable. 
制作に集中していると、
人の頭の上にはアイデアの宝庫である
大きな大きな雲が浮いているように感じました。
その雲からとめどなく流れてくるアイデアを受け取り、
自分なりに表現するのが仕事かなと思いました。

Spread love



🍀🍀🍀
I feel very fortunate to be in a position 
where I can continue to do what I love.


I know that for some people, doing what they love 
or finding what they love is still an on going journey.

That’s why I never take my creative work time for granted. 
It’s a sacred time for me and I always make sure that
I am completely devoting my heart and my energy into the work in front of me. 

In order to do that I know that taking good care of myself is important, too.
🍀
Good energy is contagious and I want to be 
part of those who thrive to make the world a better place
by spreading their good energy.
Doing creative work and making ceramics or other forms of art
is for me, a way to spread love and make this world an even better place. 

Sometimes I do feel like my energy is not big enough
and feel unsure if I’m really contributing to the world or not, 
but I know being persistent and keep doing what you believe in
from a loving stand point will eventually lead to making a positive impact. 


So, for people who are doing their best no matter what,
I want to show my gratitude and appreciation. 

Also, I hope that you are taking good care of yourselves 
because it’s so important to have 
a good hearted loving people on this beautiful planet.
