Hand‑Painted Chōjū‑giga Ceramics from Historic Kyoto

Featuring the spirited animals of Japan’s oldest illustrated scroll, Chōjū‑giga, each character is rendered with rhythmic brushstrokes that bring their playful energy to life.

When you stack these vessels, the designs appear along the rims—much like unfolding a painted scroll—creating a special moment every time you lift the cup.

This piece perfectly marries the delicate craftsmanship of Kiyomizu‑yaki with the light, flowing design of the scroll, showcasing both tradition and artistry.

The cup is perfectly sized for tea or water, while the bowl’s versatile dimensions make it ideal as a rice bowl, soup bowl, or side‑dish vessel.

Each piece is meticulously handmade by Kyoto’s Kyo‑yaki and Kiyomizu‑yaki artisans, resulting in a unique ceramic treasure you won’t find anywhere else.

An ideal gift for someone special—share the beauty and tradition of Japan with every pour.
