Saori Yamaura - Yamaura Saori -

Saori Yamaura

Breathing life into the warmth of hand-formed ceramics.

An artist who infuses the traditional craft of Kutani ware with vivid sensibility and new life. She possesses a highly unusual background in the world of Kutani ware, having worked as a veterinarian.

Her world, depicted from a unique perspective and centered around the "birds" she deeply loves, instantly captivates viewers.

Please enjoy the sculptural beauty that emanates warmth, created through hand-forming without molds. Adorning these forms are rich, vibrant, yet gentle colors, and at times, the breathtaking wonder of overglaze enamels.
