Before moving to Tokyo, Mari had acted in Hayama, a seaside resort town near Tokyo, for a long time.
All her works have different characters piece by piece, based on her philosophy in making pottery - "I use tools but don't use machines."
The handmade warmth comes out as expressive subtle distortion in the shape of each item.Her handpainted "Sometsuke" or "Inban" potteries are filled with love for nature and flowers, like picture books.
They will add color to your daily life and be your treasures.
