Realistic, yet full of charm.
Pause and relax with your favorite handmade cup.

Ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada works from his studio nestled in the peaceful hills of Nantan, Kyoto.

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, he creates traditional Japanese pottery featuring lifelike yet heartwarming animal designs.

Each mug is carefully shaped by hand, with a refined form that’s made for comfort and ease in everyday use.

The soft, creamy white kohiki clay surface brings out the gentle warmth that is the hallmark of Japanese ceramic tradition.

Experience the warmth of handmade craftsmanship

The animal motifs are not painted, but hand-carved directly into the kohiki clay—a technique that gives each line movement and life.

The result is a ceramic piece that is both artistic and full of character—one that invites you to take a closer look.

Takanobu Sawada, whose father is a respected potter of Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, has been immersed in the world of Kyoto pottery since childhood.

With over 20 years of experience, he has become a master artisan who brings both tradition and originality to his work.

Blending youthful creativity with refined craftsmanship, Sawada creates pottery full of the unique spirit of Kyoto.

Add a touch of handmade beauty from Japan to your everyday life—one cup at a time.
