A gentle time, bringing smiles
Simple yet adorable animal figurines and designs. Their rounded shapes are somehow gentle, and holding them brings a comforting warmth that eases the heart. The soft, hazy texture of the designs and the warmth of the clay intertwine, enveloping you in a gentle atmosphere, as if you're gazing at a peaceful landscape.
Each piece is carefully shaped by hand using techniques such as tatara (slab building), molds, and hand-pinching. The soft outlines retain the marks of handiwork, and the texture feels warm like earth. The gentle designs and figurines drawn all around are also unique, with no two exactly alike, each possessing a quiet individuality.
The calm earth colors of gentle ivory and dark brown are soothing hues that evoke the warmth of the earth. Simply placing them on your table softly mellows the atmosphere, creating a quiet space even in a busy day. They are sure to bring a sense of peace and calm, making you want to take a deep breath.
Enjoy a leisurely tea time with your favorite cake or baked goods. The time spent with these gentle designs and figurines watching over you will surely make your usual moments a little warmer and more enjoyable. You'll find yourself unconsciously smiling—these vessels quietly deliver such serene happiness.
Each piece is handmade, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, slight wobbling, and patterns/designs. In addition, some items may show 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 item 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.

| Recommended Care Instructions and Precautions from Maruban Koujou |
|
〇The pieces have been sealed, so there's 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. For stubborn stains that neutral detergent cannot remove, melaminespongesmay be effective. |
| Understanding "Utensils" |
|
〇As each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be variations in color unevenness and shade. |
