Realistic, yet full of warmth.
Relax and unwind with your favorite handmade cup.

In the serene mountains of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada creates his pottery surrounded by the peaceful rhythms of nature.

His traditional Japanese ceramic pieces are adorned with animals—drawn with a lifelike touch and a heartwarming charm.

Each mug is shaped by hand and carefully carved to provide a form that feels balanced and easy to use.

The smooth, milky-white kohiki clay enhances the natural softness of handmade pottery—gentle in both look and feel.

Kohiki ceramic surface with carved animal motif

Feel the warmth of handcrafted pottery

The animal motifs are not painted—they are hand-carved into the kohiki clay, giving each line a sense of movement and depth.

This technique results in an expressive finish that adds personality and warmth to every piece.

Raised in a family of ceramic artists in Kyoto, Sawada was immersed in pottery from an early age. His father specializes in traditional Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware.

With over 20 years of experience, he now brings together tradition and originality in his ceramic creations.

Combining youthful imagination with masterful technique, Sawada's pottery reflects the unique spirit of Kyoto's rich ceramic tradition.

Let this handmade piece from Japan become part of your daily routine—bringing a little moment of calm and beauty.
