An Adorable Expression
This bear with an open mouth and a vacant expression is truly adorable, and just looking at it makes you feel warm and fuzzy.
Ancient Essence
The artist, Mikiko Kato, loves the shapes and decorated creatures from ancient Orient and the Jomon period. She finds charm in their inscrutable expressions and unintended humor. We can feel an inexpressible cuteness that seems to blend ancient and modern essences.
Just Looking at it Makes You Happy
The fur is hand-carved strand by strand, giving it a very realistic feel. Ms. Kato says she loves to observe the various movements and expressions of bears at a bear farm. Perhaps this strong curiosity is what gives birth to such uniquely charming expressions.
Brings a Smile
This bear dry flower stand, full of presence, makes you grin just by looking at it. The bear's charming poses make you wonder, "Is that a human?" Just having it in your room will make you happy.
Each item is handmade, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone pitting, 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 unique characteristics as part of the handmade charm. We cannot select which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos upon request.

| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇 Since each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Even with the same glaze and clay, there will be variations in color and shade. 〇 As each pattern is hand-drawn, the expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may show small holes, tiny black dots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions. 〇 While we process images to make the product photos as close as possible to the actual colors, the color and texture may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the inspection of the manufacturer, kiln, and artist but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are sample shots, so the item you receive will not be identical in every detail. 〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. Please understand and acknowledge this before making your purchase. 〇 We hope you will enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which factory mass-produced goods do not possess! |
