The white porcelain pieces are Tomoko's signature works. The carefully crafted vessel stands out due to the subtle presence of the iron powder and the faint black hue of the ash coating, which enhances the brilliance of the white porcelain. These works are a testament to her confidence and artistry.

Recommended as a container for storing pickled plums or seasonings. Or beautiful as a decorative item.

Tomoko Sakai
Kagawa, Japan
B. 1970
CERAMICIST, STONEWARE

Tomoko Sakai transforms nature into art. The Japanese ceramicist looks to the woods outside her small, spare studio in the mountains of Miki for inspiration, and her work reflects the tranquility and simplicity of her surroundings: clean, curved lines; organic shapes; earthy tones. She finishes her hand-shaped pottery in a wood-fired “anagama” kiln, which Japanese artisans first began using in the 5th century. See less
