Ayataro
Based in Isahaya, Nagasaki, wood artist Ayataro infuses daily life with whimsy under her philosophy of "Adding Color and Elegance to the Ordinary". Each hand-carved utensil-spoons, forks, trays-celebrates the raw beauty of wood grain, while playful motifs like a strawberry-topped bear cub or a kitten in a tiny sweater come to life with food-safe cashew paint accents.
Her work bridges rustic tradition and modern charm: natural oil finishes deepen with use, revealing wood's organic glow over time. For the "Animal Tea Party" exhibition, Ayataro's delightful creations harmonize with ceramic pieces, inviting users to savor a whimsical woodland feast where craftsmanship meets storytelling.
