Realistic, yet endearing.
Take a quiet moment with your favorite handmade cup.
In the peaceful countryside of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada runs his studio surrounded by lush nature.
He crafts pottery adorned with animals—realistic in form, yet full of warmth and charm—each piece a gentle companion in daily life.
Every bowl is carefully shaped by hand and trimmed for comfort, with a form that fits beautifully in the hand.
The soft, milky-white *kohiki* glaze highlights the gentle texture unique to handmade ceramic ware.
A Bowl that Carries the Artist’s Touch
The animal motifs are not painted—they are carefully carved by scraping into the white *kohiki* surface.
Every line has movement, giving the designs a unique warmth and artistic character.
Born into a family of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware potters, Sawada has been immersed in ceramics since childhood and now has over 20 years of experience.
In his 30s, he is already a seasoned artisan, known for combining deep craftsmanship with a youthful, modern sensibility.
Experience the charm of his work in your everyday moments and feel the gentle spirit of Kyoto craftsmanship.

Owner's Comment
This rice bowl is a perfect size for everyday use—slightly deeper than average, it allows you to scoop generous portions without spilling, and it fits comfortably in hand.
The soft white *kohiki* surface features charming animal carvings that bring a sense of calm and delight with every use.
Its simple, timeless form makes it a piece you’ll return to again and again—an enduring part of your daily tableware.
