A gentle time that brings a smile to your face.
Simple and charming animal figurines and patterns. The rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and when you hold them, you feel a warmth that soothes your heart. The vaguely soft textures of the patterns and the warmth of the clay intertwine, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if you are gazing at a peaceful landscape.
Each piece is carefully crafted by hand using techniques such as tatara-making, molds, and hand-building. The soft outlines retain the marks of handwork, and the texture feels like the warmth of the clay. The gently drawn patterns and figurines, painted all around, are also unique, with each one possessing a quiet individuality.
The tranquil ivory and dark brown earth tones are calm colors that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table will gently soften the atmosphere, creating a quiet moment of calm in your busy day. They are sure to bring a sense of peace that makes you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cake or baked goods. The time spent under the watchful eyes of the gentle patterns and figurines is sure to make your usual time a little warmer and more enjoyable. These vessels will gently bring you a sense of calm happiness that makes you smile without even realizing 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/designs. In addition, some pieces 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. You cannot choose which specific item you receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please feel free to contact us before shipping and we will email you additional photos.

〇The pieces are sealed, so there is no need to boil them in rice water, but due to the nature of the glaze, crazing may occur if hot water is poured into them. Stains that are difficult to remove with neutral detergent may come off with a melamine sponge. |
