Ohigashi Alyne is an award-winning ceramics painter. Born in the Philippines, she came to Japan after meeting her husband, who had been visiting the Philippines to teach pottery techniques at a college. That brought her to the family business, Higashi Kiln, located in Isobe-cho, Ehime Prefecture. Set atop a small hill in the peaceful mountains of the Seto Inland Sea, Alyne paints beautiful designs inspired by nature surrounding her. She expresses her thoughts and feelings in her work using her own unique techniques. With the beautiful designs she paints, her works enrich people's lives, embodying her wishes that those who use her tableware will be happier and have more togetherness than ever before.

Blue flowers on a white porcelain canvas bring out a nostalgic atmosphere. Dots colored with gold are applied sporadically in the center of the flowers, creating a touch of splendor as well. The paintings are created using Alyne’s take on the technique of Japanese paper dyeing, or washi-zome, and the design reflects her unique perspective of the world, inspired by her love of nature. The warmth of the porcelain will bring a sense of comfort and joy to your dining table.

This series of tableware features beautifully painted mimosa flowers on a white porcelain canvas. Small gold dots are modestly scattered across the painting, accentuating the whole design. The beautiful mimosa design, inspired by Ohigashi Alyne’s love of nature, will liven up your dining table.

The Light Fleur Series showcases plates and bowls adorned with large-petaled flowers in calming green and blue hues. The flowers, bearing the delicate texture of Japanese washi paper, bring a tactile dimension that enhances their visual charm. The artistry of creator Ohigashi Alyne truly shines in this series, making it a delightful addition to any table setting.
