Mug Cup - Gecko by Takunobu Sawada

Vessels that convey the warmth of handcrafted work

The animal designs are not painted with a brush, but rather created by scratching away the kohiki base.

Each line has a sense of movement, resulting in a finish that conveys unique artistry and warmth.

Takunobu Sawada, whose father is a Kyoto ware and Kiyomizu ware ceramic artist, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and has already been creating pottery for 20 years.

At just 30 years old, he is a craftsman with solid skills, already reaching the level of a veteran.

Mr. Sawada combines youthful sensibility with refined techniques to create highly original vessels unique to Kyoto.

We invite you to experience their charm in your daily life.
