6x8 Redwood Tile (Yoshiko Yamamoto)

Handmade in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 

Artist Yoshiko Yamamoto is a self-taught block printmaker who strives always to fuse Japanese design sensibility with fine craftsmanship. Several years ago, Nawal Motawi, a longtime admirer of Yoshiko's work, approached her for a collaboration. Motawi thought Yamamoto's bold prints would work well as a raised-line tile design. She was right. Yamamoto's graceful, swaying scenes brought the clay to life.

"Raven" is inspired by a print Yamamoto created to convey her own fascination with the bird.
