These original artists represent some of the most wonderful things about Japan. Mori's work with ceramics has a zen quality and is a great example of the Japanese aesthetic. Some are functional and some are just decorative but all are extraordinary. Shinzi Katoh brings us the world of "zakka" where kitsch is King! His illustrations will charm you with their messages of fun and love. Naoko Kojima brings a contemporary aesthetic to traditional images that fuse together effortlessly. Her graphic images on Kurashiki denim tote bags have become one of our favorites!
