An adorable expression
A bear with a vacant expression and an open mouth. Its expressive face, seemingly wanting to say something, is so endearing that simply looking at it brings comfort and healing.
An ancient essence
She loves the shapes of creatures from ancient Orient and the Jomon period, as well as decorated creatures, and finds charm in their inscrutable expressions and unintended humor. One feels an indescribable cuteness, as if ancient and modern essences are blended.
Just looking at them makes you happy
Ms. Kato says she loves observing the various movements and expressions of bears at bear ranches. Perhaps this strong curiosity gives rise to such ineffably charming expressions.
A break time that brings smiles
A bear mug with an overwhelming presence that you'll want to keep by your side forever. Its adorable expression gives you energy when you're tired, and an extra boost when you're already feeling good—it's a mug that exudes a mysterious charm.
As each item is handmade, there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbling, and subtle differences in patterns. Additionally, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot choose which specific item you receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

| Recommended care instructions and precautions from Mikiko Kato |
| 〇 The glaze has been sealed, so it can be used as is. 〇 The kohiki (powdered clay) ware is made of three layers—body, slip, and glaze—and is prone to chipping due to its nature. Please be careful not to bump the rim when handling. |
| Understanding "Tableware" |
|
〇 As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Additionally, even with the same glaze and clay, color variations and shades will occur. 〇 Since each painting is hand-drawn, the expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the product, small holes, small black dots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions may be observed due to the manufacturing process. 〇 While we process product images to be as close to the actual color as possible, the color and texture may appear different depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the inspection of the manufacturer, kiln, or artist but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are samples, so the actual item delivered will not be exactly the same in every detail. 〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. We ask for your understanding and consent before making a purchase. 〇 We hope you will enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods lack! |
