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, there's a warmth that soothes your heart. The soft, hazy patterns blend with the warmth of the clay, creating a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing at a serene landscape.
Each piece is carefully shaped one by one using techniques such as tatara-zukuri (slab building), molds, and hand-coiling. The soft contours, bearing the marks of handcraftsmanship, and the tactile feel of the clay's warmth. The gently drawn patterns and three-dimensional objects are also unique, each possessing a quiet individuality.
The calm earth colors of ivory and dark brown offer a soothing palette reminiscent of the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your dining table softens the atmosphere and creates a quiet space 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. Spending time surrounded by the gentle patterns and three-dimensional objects is sure to make your everyday moments a little warmer and more enjoyable. You'll find yourself smiling without realizing it – this pottery delivers just such a peaceful happiness.
As each piece is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns. Also, due to variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, and iron spots (black dots) may be present, but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these unique characteristics as part of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific piece you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we can email you additional photos.

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