Vessels that convey the warmth of handcraftsmanship

Each line has movement, resulting in a finished piece with unique artistry and warmth.

Takunobu Sawada, whose father is a Kyoyaki-Kiyomizuyaki ceramic artist, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and already has 20 years of experience.

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

This plate is made using a meticulous technique called "tatara," resulting in a flat and easy-to-use shape.

It's a versatile plate, perfect for cakes, pastries, side dishes, or salads. You can never have too many of these convenient vessels.

With its expressively drawn animals, it's a delightful piece just to look at.

Please find your favorite.
