A gentle moment that brings a smile
The animals are rustic and adorable, both in three-dimensional form and in their painted designs. Their rounded shapes have a gentle quality, and when you hold them, there's a comforting warmth that seems to soothe your heart. The soft, hazy texture of the designs intertwines with the warmth of the clay, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing at a tranquil landscape.
Each piece is carefully crafted one by one using techniques such as slab building, molds, and hand-coiling. The soft contours retain the marks of handwork, and the texture feels as if you can sense the warmth of the clay. The gently drawn designs and three-dimensional objects, depicted all around, are each unique, none exactly alike, and each possesses a quiet individuality.
The calm ivory and dark brown earth tones are soothing colors that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table gently softens the atmosphere, creating a quiet space even in a busy day. They seem to calm your mind, making you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cake or baked goods. Spending time under the gentle gaze of the soft designs and three-dimensional objects is sure to make your everyday moments a little warmer and more enjoyable. You might find yourself smiling naturally. These vessels gently bring such tranquil happiness.
Each piece is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns/designs. There may also be differences in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot choose which specific item you 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 separate photos.

〇Sealing treatment has been applied, so there is no need to boil it with rice washing water, but due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if hot water is poured into it. Stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent may come off with a melaminesponge. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇Because each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, weight, etc. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be variations in color and shade. |
