Japanese Artist Ouka Ueno has honed her expertise in using and sourcing Japanese art materials and tools for many years.
After her passion for Folk Arts and Folk Tales dragged her into the MINGEI (Japanese Folk Art) world, she started to collect items which have more cultural and traditional meaning directly from artisans and introduced them to her London stall in Broadway Market every Saturday.
