Pottery pieces from the ceramic art duo 'Scarlet Pottery,' formed by Hiroki Kanazawa and Yuko Shige, have arrived from Amakusa, Kumamoto. Amakusa porcelain stone, mined along the beautiful western coast of Amakusa, is pure white, fine-textured, and fired at high temperatures, which increases its hardness, resulting in durable, stunning pieces. The enchanting designs painted on these beautiful canvases are all hand-painted by Yuko, with each piece uniquely crafted.
