Our Story

Ink, Earth & Fire

Obsidian & Flame is a curated gallery representing independent Japanese ceramic artists and family-run kilns — makers working in the traditions of wabi-sabi, sumi-e brushwork, and wood-firing. Every piece we carry is chosen personally and sourced directly from the artisan, arriving with the marks of the hands and flame that shaped it.

We believe tableware should slow you down. A chawan for whisking matcha, a guinomi for sake shared with friends, a vase built for a single stem — these are objects meant to be used, held, and lived with.
