An Adorable Expression
A bear with a blank expression and an open mouth. Its expressive, as if it wants to say something, and simply looking at it brings a comforting sense of healing.
Essence of Ancient Times
She loves the shapes of creatures and decorated animals from ancient Orient and the Jomon period, and she finds charm in their expressions that are difficult to interpret and the unintentional humor they possess. There's an inexpressible cuteness that feels like a blend of ancient and modern essences.
Just Looking at Them Makes You Happy
Each strand of fur is hand-carved, giving it a very realistic feel. Ms. Kato says she loves spending time observing the various movements and expressions of bears at a bear farm. Perhaps this strong curiosity is what gives rise to their ineffably charming expressions.
Brings a Smile
A bear dry flower stand with an overflowing presence that makes you smile just by looking at it. A charming bear striking a pose that makes you wonder, "Is that a human?" Just having it in your room will make you happy.
As each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone chips, slight wobbles, 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 items. We cannot choose which item you 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.

| Recommended Care Instructions and Precautions from Mikiko Kato |
| 〇 The items have been sealed, so they are ready for immediate use. 〇 Powder-glazed ceramics have three layers—clay, slip, and glaze—making them prone to chipping. Please be careful not to bump the rim when handling them. |
| 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, there will be variations in color and shade. 〇 Since each design is hand-painted, expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbles, 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 products that have passed not only the manufacturer's/kiln's/artist's inspection but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are samples, so the actual 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 purchasing. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "interest" unique to handmade items, which are not found in mass-produced factory goods! |
