YUTORI
Accord-
ing to the Japanese language dictionary Kojien
(Shinmura, 1998), the definition of yutori is “a
state with sufficiency and ease.”
'And a girl, in fact, wrote me a note in Yokohama on the day that I was leaving her school that has come to be the most significant note any student has written me in years. She said, “Well, here in Japan, we have a concept called ‘yutori.’” And it is spaciousness. It’s a kind of living with spaciousness. For example, it’s leaving early enough to get somewhere so that you know you’re going to arrive early, so when you get there, you have time to look around. Or — and then she gave all these different definitions of what yutori was to her.' Naomi Shihab Nye

In the Company of Women
Grace Bonney of Design Sponge asked me last year to participate in a book she was creating 'In the Company of Women'. I just got my copy and holy cow! It's amazing. I am so honored to be included in this book with all of these kick-ass women who have started creative businesses. I LOVE how diverse it is, writers, musicians, designers, makers, craftspeople, the river runs WIDE & DEEP. Yet still it's a moment in time, a slice of the pie, the well is much deeper and there are so many more amazing women out there- Cheers to you all!
Ayumi Horie created this video to celebrate the fellow ceramicists, and Remodelista did a story here.
