PROFILE

A 14th generation potter from Japan, Hanako moved to the US at the age of 16 to pursue her education. Both her technique and philosophy as a studio potter are rooted in the ceramic traditions of Karatsu, Japan. But her shapes and surfaces are influenced by years spent living in the West. She specializes in functional tableware that fits in a variety of settings from minimal and modern to traditional and rustic. She has shown her work extensively in Japan and the US since 2000 and currently divides her time between studios in Japan and the US.
