Chisato Yasui, ceramic and mixed media artist, was born in 1984 in Aichi Prefecture. She began her studies in oil painting but was then influenced by the artistic approach of Professor and ceramic artist Toshiju Saito, that consists of positioning the material above artist’s sentiments in the creation process. However, he also argued that simply obeying the material's voice is not good either, thereby urging artists to train themselves finding out the truth with our own senses. That is how Chisato realized that clay offers her the opportunities she was looking for to express her feelings and soul. She then obtained her master’s degree in Art and Design from the University of Tsukuba in 2010 and currently resides in Tsukuba-city, Ibaraki.

Teruri Yamawaki was born in 1989. She decided to dedicate her life to art and clay relatively late, following various life experiences, which greatly enhanced her creativity. Teruri spent several years outside of Japan in countries such as Indonesia and Portugal, where religion and family play a crucial role in society. She realised that these two foundations are sources of inner peace for the local people. She then felt she needed a divine existence to believe in or pray to, coming from a family with no sense of unity and no shared values. Besides, she also observed that people in Japan are still believing in spirit, even if they are not fully aware of it.

Sayuri Ikake was born in 1990 in Osaka, Japan. Advised by her family and friends who detected her artistic capabilities at an early stage, Sayuri applied for the prestigious Kobe Design and Art University cursus in 2009. She picked the crafts option during her first year of the undergraduate program and started working with various materials such as glass, metal, clay, wood; each attached to specific and often ancient crafting techniques.
