yumiko iihoshi porcelain
Thursday, 26 August 2010
Yumiko Iihoshi's atelier is my recent favourite space in Tokyo. She has recently opened her atelier in Jiyugaoka as a gallery/shop 3 days a week. Simplicity, tranquility and beauty are all in there, a perfect box to contain her beautiful tableware. Yumiko-san is such a lovely person and that was no surprise to me at all looking at her delicate and sensuous pieces.

if you are in the area of 稲荷町 you should check out that cafe i went to (itonowa cafe) which uses her ceramics. i think that last photo might just be from that cafe.
