Handmade ceramic tumbler by Kyoto artist Sawada

Realistic, yet undeniably charming—
Take a break with your favorite cup.

Surrounded by the tranquil countryside of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada creates pottery featuring lifelike animals with a warm, gentle touch.

Each piece is carefully hand-formed, with its shape trimmed for comfort and ease of use. The smooth, milky-white kohiki glaze brings out the natural softness and warmth of traditional Japanese ceramics.

Feel the warmth of craftsmanship

Instead of using a brush, Sawada carves directly into the kohiki glaze to bring each animal to life. The delicate, dynamic lines give the artwork a sense of motion and emotion.

Son of a Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware ceramic artist, Sawada has been immersed in pottery since childhood. With over 20 years of experience, his skills are honed far beyond his years.

Fusing youthful creativity with refined technique, Sawada brings a fresh and original spirit to Kyoto’s long tradition of handmade pottery.

We invite you to experience the quiet joy these pieces bring to everyday life.
