Artist Yoshiko Yamamoto is a self-taught block printmaker who strives always to fuse Japanese design sensibility with fine craftsmanship.  Yamamoto's bold prints work well as a raised-line Motowi tile designs. Yamamoto's graceful, swaying scenes bring clay to life.

"Among all the springtime visitors to our garden, the lively chickadees are our favorite. Always chattering 'chick-a-dee-dee-dee', these tiny birds never seem to tire and amuse us with their playful acrobatics!"- Yoshiko Yamamoto

Motawi polychrome tiles are striking individual art pieces as much as functional tile installation accents. vThe bold heft of each Motawi tile reveals serious craftsmanship. And our time-honored hand-glazing methods produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence.
