About Artist
Chakabuki is the studio name for potter Hashizume Kayo. Deeply rooted in and intrigued by the land of Yame in Fukuoka, where green tea is the main traditional product, Chakabuki's focus on teaware came naturally. Exploring human interaction with the land and nature, Hashizume forages its wild clay to throw and fire, drawing on early historic clay modeling and firing practices. This in turn inspired her to develop an organic approach to tea drinking and teaware making as a whole. Read more...
