About

Hello, I'm Mina, the maker behind Yuzu Pottery.

I grew up in Japan and have lived in Seattle since 2005.
Nature has always been my greatest inspiration—the quiet beauty of sunlight, rain, and the small patterns that appear in the natural world. I try to bring that sense of calm, simplicity, and timelessness into every piece I create.

My signature Zen Bird Mug features a tiny, hand-sculpted bird perched gently on the handle. It's a symbol of individuality and gentle strength. Each bird is shaped by hand, making every mug one-of-a-kind—just like the people who use them.

I make ceramic pieces with the hope that they become a long-loved part of your daily life: a favorite mug for your morning coffee or a quiet companion during a peaceful afternoon.

Thank you for visiting Yuzu Pottery. I’m honored to share a part of my heart and craft with you.
