Keiseki Yoshimi
-
- OSAKA CHAKAI Recommend -
Exhibiting her originality as a ceramic artist/calligrapher, her artwork embodies the theme of “fusion of calligraphy and ceramics.” The charm of her vessels is in their figurative excellence adopting the deep texture of ancient Japanese Sue ware, originating in the Senshu region in Osaka, Yoshimi’s hometown. The two art pieces displayed on the Choice Shelf stand out with their formative beauty; these vessels are popularly selected by our guests on many occasions throughout the day.
