In 1990 I moved to Kutchan from the foot of Mt. Yotei from Kyoto. While my father, older brother, older sister convey the tradition of Keiyaki called pottery, I feel the new winds of Hokkaido every day while dressing. Because I use my former schoolhouse as an atelier and gallery experience field, it is unrelated to new and useful things, In the garden sheep are eating grass, I think that you can have a calm time in a nostalgic place somewhere nostalgic. Since we also exhibit and sell reliefs and everyday instruments, including objects, please do not miss seeing pottery and relaxing holidays.
