Earth and water meet
in the hollow of the hand —
fire makes it whole

Yuki Tanaka

田中 雪 · Ceramicist

Working from a small studio in Kyoto, I make vessels that hold silence as much as they hold water. Each piece is thrown by hand, fired in a wood kiln, and finished with ash glazes from the surrounding forest.

Philosophy · 哲学

"I am not making objects.
I am making places for stillness to rest."

My practice is rooted in the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi — the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. A crack in the glaze is not a flaw. It is the piece remembering its making. I work slowly, by hand, with materials gathered from the land around my studio. The kiln does the rest.
