Biography
Japonica, born in 1970, is a photographer and designer living and working in Japan. Her academic background is rich with studies in Buddhist thought, Hindu society, and the history of ceramics on the Silk Road, explorations she deepened during her years as a graduate student and curator.
Her work focuses on the presentation and preservation of traditional Japanese crafts, including the exceptional ceramics of the Kyoto, Kyushu and Noto Peninsula regions. As a fervent admirer of Japanese cultural heritage, Japonica aims to introduce the world to the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese ceramics, which she considers to be one of the great artistic achievements born at the end of the Silk Road.
Alongside this exploration of traditional crafts, Japonica is interested in the evolution of artistic expressions in Japan, particularly in the fields of painting, photography, and contemporary crafts. It aspires to weave links between tradition and innovation, while sharing these artistic treasures with the world.
Her work is a celebration of change and continuity in Japanese culture. Through her work, Japonica invites the public to experience not only the authenticity of ancient craftsmanship, but also the vitality and creativity of contemporary Japanese art. She hopes that this immersion in Japanese art and culture will foster a deeper understanding of the Japanese spirit and identity, while contributing to an enriching intercultural dialogue.

Reviews and comments
refined and original artist, excellent technique, talent top
Hello, Irvin. Thank you for your message. I'm taking photos and making a promotional video for JAPONICA-JAONICA. I want to convey the simplicity of Japan, so I process and edit my photos. I deliberately take photos of modern buildings, so that people can enjoy the contrast. Your photos make me feel like I'm in a quiet, calm world. I hope you'll continue to show me great works.
Très belle galerie ! Félicitations , votre talent artistique rayonne !
Very beautiful gallery! Congratulations, your artistic talent shines!
Dear Coco, Thank you for your message.
My favorite, ROZAN, is a bronze casting artist. I will be posting some of his works soon, so please look forward to them!
