Original Paintings

A collection of minimal abstract ink and watercolour art, finding its essence in two of the main characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic: Kanso - simplicity and Seijaku - tranquility. With every brush stroke reflecting a state of mind, and each movement becoming a meditative gesture, a slow and intuitive process is being followed hoping to bring serenity and calmness into one's home.

Japan Travel Guide | 'Moments in Tohoku'

Discovering the Tohoku region, I could not help but wonder why it is one of the least visited area of Japan. As it overflows with incredible natural beauty, hidden shrines and temples, rich traditional crafts, numerous forested hot springs, historic towns, endless heritage ryokan, volcanoes and a hell valley, sacred pilgrimage routes through holy mountains, countless fruit and rice cultivations, and so much more, it offers a quieter and more rural side of Japan. Moments in Tohoku will contain all my personal recommendations and memorable experiences from our road trip.

Japanese Crafts Curation

A small collection mainly featuring Bizen ware pieces, a traditional style of Japanese stoneware pottery known for its rustic, reddish-brown colour and hard texture. 

The main characteristic of Bizen ware is that each piece is unglazed; instead their appearance is shaped in the kiln, where the natural effects of ash and fire result in unique organic markings.
