During that time I began to appreciate the deep connection among art, culture and Japanese history, while developing a particular interest in the deeply rooted tradition of Japanese ceramics. It was years later, after moving to Montreal, that I chose to fully pursue this passion by taking up the study of ceramics at the Visual Arts Centre, where I learned to translate my existing skills into a new medium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, I work in my own house studio in Woodbridge, ON (north of Toronto). I devote my life to my work, through which I strive to express the elegance, feminine beauty, delicacy and modesty of Japanese culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been exploring a new style of ceramics technique, called nerikomi. I have been trained under Eiji Murofushi, one of the pioneers in the field of nerikomi ceramics. I fell in love with  nerikomi and its unlimited possibilities of expression. Currently in my own studio in Ontario, Canada, I devote my life to my work through which I strive to express the elegance, beauty, delicacy, and modesty of Japanese culture.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AGH Art Sales + Services","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51436950159677,"sku":"EIKO-NERISETB","price":150.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/4464\/1863\/files\/20260226_151350.jpg?v=1772213795","url":"https:\/\/shop.artgalleryofhamilton.com\/products\/nesting-nerikomi-set-blue","provider":"AGH Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
