A gentle time that brings a smile
Simple and adorable animal figurines and patterns. The rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and when you hold them, there's a warmth that soothes your heart. The faintly soft texture of the patterns and the warmth of the clay combine, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing at a serene landscape.
Each piece is carefully crafted using techniques such as slab building, molding, and hand-pinching. The soft outlines retain the marks of handiwork, and the texture feels like the warmth of the earth. The gentle patterns and three-dimensional objects drawn all around are also unique, each possessing its own quiet individuality.
The tranquil ivory and dark brown earth colors are soothing tones that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply arranging them on your table gently softens the atmosphere, creating a peaceful 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 sweets. The moments spent surrounded by gentle patterns and figures will surely make your usual time a little warmer and more enjoyable. These vessels quietly bring a serene happiness that will make you smile before you even realize it.
As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and 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 them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot accommodate requests for specific items, but we hope you look forward to receiving yours. If you are concerned, please contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

〇Since the product has been pre-sealed, there is no need to boil it with rice water, etc. However, due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if boiling water is poured into it. For stubborn stains that cannot be removed with mild detergent, a melaminespongemay be effective. |
