Impressions
For a long time, I dreamt of traveling to Japan. While living in London on minimum wage, it felt like a dream that would never come true. Eight years later—after moving to a new country, starting a new career, experiencing a pandemic, and dealing with a canceled trip—I finally booked my flight to Tokyo.
It was serendipitous that my interest in Japanese culture and my love for ceramics went hand in hand. In the spring of 2024, I set off for two and a half months.
Based in Tajimi, Gifu, I observed and learned how a Japanese studio operates, immersing myself in the sights, smells, and techniques.
