An Adorable Expression
A bear with a blank expression, mouth agape. Its seemingly wanting-to-say-something expression is so adorable that just looking at it makes you feel warm and healed.
Ancient Essence
She loves the shapes of ancient Oriental and Jomon-period creatures, and decorated creatures, and is fascinated by their inexplicable expressions and unintended quirks. You can feel an unutterable cuteness, as if ancient and modern essences are blended together.
Just Looking at It Makes You Feel Happy
Ms. Kato says she loves observing the various movements and expressions of bears at bear ranches. Perhaps this strong curiosity gives rise to these ineffably charming expressions.
A Fun and Cute Dining Table
A rimmed plate featuring a cute bear with a blank expression. It's perfect for a morning plate with toast, ham and eggs, and salad, or for enjoying snack time with chiffon cake or mille-feuille, making any moment special and uplifting.
Each item is handmade, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone inclusions, 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 their handmade charm. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, 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 pieces are already sealed, so they are ready for use. 〇 Powder-glazed pottery consists of three layers—the base, the slip, and the glaze—and is prone to chipping due to its nature. Please be careful not to hit the rim when handling. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇 Due to being handmade one by one, there may be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Additionally, even with the same glaze and clay, color variations and shades may occur. 〇 As each pattern is hand-painted, the expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may exhibit small holes, small black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, slight wobbling, or distortion. 〇 We strive to process images to show colors and textures as close to the actual product as possible, but colors and textures 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 taken as samples, so the actual item you receive may not be exactly the same in every detail. 〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges for customer convenience. Please understand and agree to this before making a purchase. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods do not possess! |
