The tile is handmade by Motawi Tileworks in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Motawi uses a raised-line technique when making their tiles. This technique forms raised ridges which create the detailed design and contain the colorful glaze. The technique paired well with the artist, Yoshiko Yamamoto’s sensibility, bringing Japanese woodblock inspiration to the tile.
The tile has a notch on the back for hanging. A display easel, specifically designed for Motawi’s tiles, is also available to purchase.
