Japan Travel Guide

Written like a personal journal, Moments in Japan contains all my personal recommendations to enjoy memorable experiences such as tea ceremonies, outstanding traditional stays, incredible onsen locations, ceramic workshops, but also my favourite secret places, budget friendly accommodations, beautiful remote destinations, some delicious restaurants and more.

Original Paintings

A collection of minimal abstract ink and watercolour art, finding its essence in two of the main characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic: Kanso - simplicity and Seijaku - tranquility. With every brush stroke reflecting a state of mind, and each movement becoming a meditative gesture, a slow and intuitive process is being followed hoping to bring serenity and calmness into one's home.

Japanese Crafts Curation

A small collection mainly featuring Bizen ware pieces, a traditional style of Japanese stoneware pottery known for its rustic, reddish-brown colour and hard texture. 

The main characteristic of Bizen ware is that each piece is unglazed; instead their appearance is shaped in the kiln, where the natural effects of ash and fire result in unique organic markings.
