Founded by Yukiko Tsuchiya in Karatsu, Japan, Yukiko Pottery carries the heritage of Karatsu ware while embracing modern expression. Trained under master potter Takashi Nakazato at Ryūta Kiln, Tsuchiya established her own kiln in 2002 guided by a philosophy of creating functional pieces that harmonize with daily life. Her black Karatsu glazes and refined forms reflect years of exploration and a deep connection to the natural beauty surrounding her mountain studio. Each vessel embodies quiet elegance, crafted to be used, cherished and to enrich everyday moments.
