Spring is a season of new beginnings for most cultures and certainly in Japan it is the most anticipated season of the year.  The cherry blossom, or 'sakura - 桜', is the symbol of the end of winter and the start of times where friends and families can begin to regain connections and celebrate the beauty of nature.  

Public spaces with cherry trees become outdoor sites of public gathering where friends and families sit underneath the blossoms to eat, chat and drink sake.  Fitting then that our release of this wondrous collection of sake wares co-incides with the 'sakura' season.

In this collection you will discover 9 new ceramic artists who display great ability to reflect their personality on to regional and traditonal styles.  All personally selected by the gallery, this collection is a premium opportunity to view and purchase exquisite examples of each maker's work, the first time that their work has been made available in the UK.  We hope you enjoy both this collection and the promise of warmer times where we too can re-connect in nature with friends and family.  Kanpai!
