Kiyoko Morioka is an awarded art scholar specializing in the traditional craft of Kutani porcelain. Her creations feature a delicate and semi-translucent design, highlighting the stark elegance of the Kanazawa region's clay while omitting the ornate embellishments in signature Kutani ware. Each piece is wheel-thrown and crafted with technical precision, showcasing the clay's durability, texture, and radiant brilliance. Inspired by her time studying in Denmark, Morioka infuses modern elements into her traditional silhouettes. The velvety texture of her porcelain is achieved through a unique technique, creating a luxurious touch and an ultra-thin rim perfect for savoring tea. The translucent pieces allow the rich color of brewed tea to shine through, creating a truly mesmerizing experience.
