Saori Hino 日野沙織

Originally from Saitama Prefecture, Saori Hino graduated from Rikkyo University' s College of Arts in 2015. After discovering ceramics through her university pottery club, she began training at a pottery workshop in Mashiko in 2016 and established her independent practice there in 2021.

Childhood memories of picture books continue to shape her work. Using fine lines and gentle colours, she depicts animals on semi-porcelain vessels, as though placing a page from a storybook on the dining table.

She hopes her pieces offer the same comfort as a favourite childhood book, bringing a sense of ease and a quiet smile to everyday meals and tea.
