Adorable Expressions

A bear with a blank expression and an open mouth. Its somewhat expressive face is so adorable that just looking at it will soothe your soul.

Essence of Antiquity

The artist loves the shapes of creatures and decorated animals from ancient Orient and the Jomon period, finding charm in their enigmatic expressions and the unintended humor in their designs. You can feel an inexpressible cuteness that seems to blend ancient and modern essences.

Simply delightful to behold

The unique, warm painting style resembles woodblock prints or rubber stamps. The artist mentioned how they would observe the various movements and expressions of bears at a bear ranch for a long time. This strong curiosity might be what gives rise to these ineffably charming expressions.

Adorably Decorate Your Dining Table

The adorable bear on the rim, which makes you chuckle, further enhances the plate's charm. It's perfect for any dessert, whether it's cake, pudding, or ice cream.

Each item is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbling, and subtle differences in patterns and designs. Additionally, some items may show variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect their usability. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos. Please feel free to reach out.

Recommended Care and Precautions from Mikiko Kato
〇 The items have been sealed (mekan-dome processing), so they are ready for immediate use.
〇 Kohiki (powdered clay) ceramics consist of three layers—body, slip, and glaze—and are inherently prone to chipping. Please be careful not to bump the rim when handling.


 Understanding "Ceramics"
〇 Due to being handmade, each item will have individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Additionally, even with the same glaze and clay, there may be variations in color and shade.
〇 Since each design is hand-painted, expressions may differ.
〇 Depending on the item, manufacturing processes may result in small holes, small black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions.
〇 While we process images to be as close to the actual color as possible, the color and texture may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display.
〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the inspections of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist but also our final inspection.
〇 Product photos are samples, so the actual item you receive may not be identical in every detail.
〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. Please understand and acknowledge this before purchasing.
〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "interest" that come with handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods lack!
