UTSUWA | Yukiko Ishimura

A book about Japanese vessels and the stories that gather around them.

Written by Yukiko Ishimura, founder of the long-standing lifestyle space Kuruminoki in Nara,
this book brings together pieces she has encountered over a lifetime.

From early flea market finds to works by artists she has come to know,
each object is introduced through personal memories and quiet reflections.

Rather than a guide,
it offers a way of looking at everyday objects,
and how they slowly become part of daily life.

A gentle read for those drawn to tableware, craft,
and the atmosphere of living with things.
