Yamawaki was born in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture in 1989. After approximately five years of studying abroad in Indonesia and Portugal, she graduated from Kasama College of Ceramic Art in 2022 and joined the Kanazawa Utatsuyama Craft Workshop in the same year. Drawing from her experience in foreign countries, where diverse beliefs are deeply rooted, as well as her own upbringing, she began to contemplate on “peace of mind”, which led her to create objects that aim to provide a small sense of comfort for people. Her major exhibitions include solo exhibition “Sanctuary” (atelier & gallery creava, 2023), “Ceramic Synergy” (Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art), “Human Bonds” (AIFA), and “The 10th Kikuchi Biennial Exhibition” (Kikuchi Kanjitsu Memorial Tomo Museum).
