Welcome to Anna Japana!

Hi there! I'm Anna, a Melbourne-based artist with a passion for the art of mizuhiki.
For centuries, this delicate craft has been at the heart of Japanese ceremonies, and I’ve found a way to blend its rich traditions with the beauty of Australian flora and fauna.

From my cosy home studio, I pour love and creativity into every piece, whether it’s a pair of bespoke earrings or a larger work of art.

As a member of the City of Casey Emerging Artist Creative Hub Residence 2025, I’m excited to develop a new collection that explores both familiar and new themes, continuing my journey of cultural fusion and artistic expression.

Since 2020, I’ve been sharing the magic of mizuhiki through earring-making workshops.

With this ancient craft at risk of fading away, I’m on a mission to keep it alive and thriving for future generations.
