Azusa Amemiya

Stronsay and Papa Stronsay Sake Set

Stronsay and Papa Stronsay sake set welcomes the veridian season. Sip crisp Junmai Ginjou under the wide spring sky and bask in the glory of being alive.  Stronsay (smaller) is crafted of hand-thrown porcelain and Papa Stronsay (taller) is crafted of stoneware.

The work of Azusa Amemiya evokes the quiet mysteries of the natural world and celestial bodies: a moon of Saturn, a ridge on Venus and worlds yet to be discovered. Originally from the world of fashion, Azusa turned her discerning eye and refined sensibility toward clay, drawn to the dialogue between glazes and form. “I kept at it,” she says simply.

As a ceramist, she delights in the freedom of choice and understands how a single, beautiful object can transform a space whether adorning a table or in hand.  Her pieces are deliciously tactile, inviting touch, exploration, and quiet contemplation, all while remaining deeply functional.

Each piece is one of a kind, made by hand and available exclusively at Bellocq.
