  • [Gallery Introduction]

    Rui Mito was previously an office worker. At first, she was attracted to Shino tea bowls, but after studying and looking at pottery from around the country, she met her master, Kiyomi Kawakami, and was instantly captivated by the charms of Karatsu ware. Karatsu ware has a variety of expressions depending on how it is fired. In order to convey the feelings she puts into her work, she is always creating an image of the work in her head. She also begins by searching for soil, hoping that her works, which she puts her feelings into, will cheer people up.

    Office worker and Karatsu ware. At first glance, they seem like two different worlds, but for Rui, they are the same thing in that they involve people. He works hard at pottery every day, hoping to connect with the people who use his work. His unwavering core and unwavering beliefs are very impressive.
