Every piece in the Haremono collection is made by hand by one of a small group of Bizen ware artisans. Here's a closer look at who they are.
Yutaka Nakai
Yutaka Nakai grew up around his father's pottery studio and has carried that connection to Bizen ware into his own practice. For Haremono, he makes vases and drinkware shaped entirely around use, slender forms pared down to their essentials, walls kept thin, and lines kept simple, each piece sized to sit comfortably in one hand.
Toshiaki Mori
Toshiaki Mori is the 19th-generation successor of Hozan-gama, a historic Bizen kiln, carrying generations of ceramic tradition into pieces that explore contemporary forms without losing the natural character of clay and fire. For Haremono, he makes everyday tableware and a wind chime, each piece carrying the scarlet hidasuki markings that trace back to the origins of the craft itself.
Emi Kanda
Emi Kanda is a ceramic artist inspired by the beauty found in everyday moments. Through the natural texture of unglazed clay, she creates pieces that bring warmth and quiet presence to daily spaces. For Haremono, she makes ceramic jewelry: small, lightweight pieces finished with natural hidasuki markings, made for everyday wear.
