Ikkanjin's Vessels Adorning the Dining Table
The small figure peeking gently from the rim of the vessel is an "Ikkanjin."
The character "閑" (kan) signifies having peace of mind and enjoying serene moments. The wish behind this design is for people to slowly enjoy their meals and tea breaks, even amidst their busy daily lives.
Each Ikkanjin is handcrafted, making it one of Hiroshi Takeuchi's signature designs that grows more endearing with every glance.

Splendor Created by Kyo-yaki's Traditional Techniques
Hiroshi Takeuchi's works are crafted by skillfully combining traditional Kyo-yaki techniques such as Kochi ware, sometsuke (underglaze blue), and itchin mori (slip trailing).
These vessels, adorned with patterns drawn with raised lines and vibrant colors, exude a splendid yet elegant presence. The intricate decorations, meticulously finished, showcase his masterful skill.

Bringing Joy to Everyday Life
While inheriting traditional techniques, the designs are approachable and playful.
These are Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki works by Hiroshi Takeuchi that brighten your spirits each time you use them.
