Realistic yet somehow endearing.
Take a breather with your favorite cup.

Takunobu Sawada is a potter who has his studio in the satoyama (foothills) of Nantan City, Kyoto.

Surrounded by rich natural scenery, he creates vessels decorated with warm, realistic animal illustrations.

Each piece is carefully formed and sculpted to be easy to use when held in the hand.

The soft, milky white slipware enhances the gentle texture unique to pottery.

Vessels that convey the warmth of handcrafted work

The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush but are expressed by scratching away the slipware base.

Each line has movement, resulting in a unique and warm finish.

Takunobu Sawada, whose father is a Kyoto-ware/Kiyomizu-ware potter, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and has 20 years of experience in pottery making.

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

Mr. Sawada, who combines youthful sensibilities with refined techniques, creates unique vessels brimming with Kyoto originality.

Please experience their charm in your daily life.

Comments from the Owner

This rice bowl is the perfect size for everyday meals.

It is made slightly deeper than a typical bowl, making it less likely for rice to spill even when generously served, and its shape is easy to hold.

The soft white of the slipware, adorned with expressive animals, brings a sense of calm every time you use it.

With its timeless, simple appearance, it can be used as an everyday vessel for many years to come.
