ANN SACKS
ANN SACKS' Sakura tiles evoke the timeless quality of classic Japanese design. Each tile is unique and handcrafted, much like the hand-dipped silk kimonos of the Far East. Inspired by the illusory quality of renowned Japanese textile artist Itchiku Kubota's stunning kimono collection and the magnificent folding screens from the Edo period, Sakura captures the essence of raw silk in the medium of hand painted ceramic tiles. Though based in these ancient traditions, the Sakura designs are also exceptionally modern in their rich use of color and graphics.
