Hello, I’m Hana.

From my small studio in Japan, I create clay flowers using cold porcelain.

On this site, you’ll find my clay flower tutorials, original tools, and inspirations for creating your own flowers.

I love spending quiet time making things by hand or taking gentle walks to enjoy seasonal flowers.

Moments spent with flowers softly calm my mind and bring a sense of quiet balance.

　
My love for flowers began with a simple wish:
“I want to fill my home with flowers.”

Over the years, I have enjoyed many kinds of creative work—arranging fresh flowers, designing faux-flower arrangements, and making flowers from light-weight clay.

For a long time I mainly worked with artificial flower arrangements, and in my early YouTube videos I shared many ideas, from artificial flowers to simple creations using flowers from 100-yen shops.

It still warms my heart that so many people enjoyed those easy and approachable arrangements.

Even now, I still feel a sense of excitement when I see the vibrant colors and creative designs of floral arrangements.

However, as I continued creating a wide variety of arrangements, my perspective gradually began to shift.
　

The joy of combining many different materials slowly gave way to a quieter desire—to appreciate and display the individuality and stillness of each flower just as it is.

Before long, I found myself thinking,
“Perhaps what I truly want is to spend more time facing the flower itself.”
　

It was around that time that one material came gently to mind—cold porcelain clay.

Its ability to capture the translucency and softness of petals, the beauty of color, and to freely express flowers in any shade, size, or stage of bloom felt almost like magic to me.
　

Drawn to the world of clay flowers, which has long been cherished in Japan,
I found myself once again deeply absorbed in the joy of creating flowers.

Although I had once worked with light-weight clay, more than ten years had passed, and working with cold porcelain felt completely different.

At first, I struggled to create the results I imagined.
I returned to the basics, relearning tools and techniques and starting again with a beginner’s mindset.
　

By gently removing unnecessary elements and focusing on a single bloom, I found joy in shaping the quietness and lightness that flowers hold.

The creative process gradually became a comforting and joyful part of my daily life.
　

I also often found that the tools and materials I wanted simply did not exist, which led me to start researching and developing my own.
　
Most of my tools are created by taking molds from real flowers and leaves, carefully observing their shapes and veins to capture the delicate beauty of nature in clay.
　

Once I begin creating something, I naturally find myself wanting to explore it deeply.

Today, I create a variety of clay flowers and share tutorials and tools through my website and YouTube channel, hoping to pass along the joy of flower making.

There are as many styles of crafting as there are creators.

The simple pieces we made as beginners, casual crafts created just for fun, and carefully sculpted works shaped with great attention to detail — each one carries the maker’s thoughts and is beautiful in its own way. Even when our preferences differ, there is no need for comparison or competition.

If you create simply because you love it, that feeling alone brings beauty to every expression. I hope you will enjoy the process itself, while following your own sense of comfort and rhythm.

Without rushing or comparing yourself with others, you can create what you love, whenever you feel inspired, and at your own pace. I believe that quiet, unhurried time is one of the true joys of this craft.

I am still learning every day myself, but I would be happy if I can share the tools and small discoveries that have grown from my own trial and error.

Through my tutorials and shop, I try to create the kind of information and tools I wished I had when I first began making clay flowers.

With gratitude to the many artists who have lovingly preserved and passed down this craft, I would be happy if my work could become a small source of inspiration or gentle encouragement for someone else.

Through clay flowers, may a little inspiration—and a quiet moment of peace—find its way into your everyday life.

From my small studio in Japan, I hope to share the quiet joy of flower making with people around the world.

Let’s enjoy making flowers together!
