shiro no sekai
beauty + tranquility


First 3 photos are mine, the above images of the products are from yumiko iihoshi porcelain.

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.

  5. i love her work!
    very cool that she has opened up a space so close to you.
    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.
