Realistic, yet endearing.
Take a quiet moment with your favorite cup.

In the peaceful countryside of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada creates pottery inspired by nature and rural life.

Surrounded by scenic landscapes, he brings animals to life in his ceramics—realistic, yet with a soft charm that warms the heart.

Each piece is carefully shaped by hand and designed with ease of use in mind, resulting in a mug that feels just right when held.

The soft ivory tone of the kohiki glaze enhances the gentle texture of traditional Japanese pottery.

Hand-carved kohiki ceramic by Kyoto artist Takanobu Sawada

Feel the warmth of handmade Kyoto pottery

Instead of using a brush, the animal illustrations are created by carving into the kohiki clay surface. Every line is filled with motion and personality.

The result is a piece that radiates warmth and originality—true to the traditional roots of Kyoto ceramic art, yet expressive and modern.

As the son of a Kyo and Kiyomizu ware potter, Sawada grew up surrounded by ceramics. Now with over 20 years of experience, he is recognized for his refined techniques and fresh vision.

His work is a unique blend of tradition and creativity, made entirely by hand in Japan.

Whether you use it for coffee, tea, or a quiet afternoon break, this small handmade mug adds a gentle, crafted touch to your everyday routine.

Discover the charm of traditional Kyoto ceramic work through the eyes of a new generation.
