Yuka Morino, an artist who runs Three Little Spruce, grew up in Kyoto, Japan. She now lives on Quadra Island, B.C., and offers repair services for ceramics using the traditional Japanese method called Kintsugi. She believes in the spirit of wabi-sabi found in Japanese culture, valuing and cherishing the aging and damage of objects as “scenery” rather than hiding it. Additionally, she hopes to share the charm of treasuring things with those she meets through Japanese traditional culture.
