Mr.&Mrs. Shinohara from Kyoto, blend many regional Japanese ceramic styles into their work. The Shinohara's both graduated from A Traditional art's school in Kyoto. Takashi Shinohara worked in Arita (Saga prefecture), Seto (Aichi prefecture) and Kyoto, his wife Megumi worked Hasami (Nagasaki prefecture), in 2016 Takashi and Megumi moved to Kyoto and started making their own ceramic products from the knowledge and experience the gained.

The result of their work is a blend of may regional Japanese ceramic styles, with extensive training in Aritayaki, Setoyaki and Hasamiyaki ceramic styles. Mr.&Mrs. Shinohara produce their own unique glazes and clay textures based on their previous experiences. For example, Kiseto is normally a shiny smooth texture, but they have given Kiseto a rough matte texture with a feeling of river rocks worn by years of rushing water.

From their creative use of traditional ceramic styles come unique pieces for daily use.
