Realistic yet somehow adorable.
Take a moment to relax with your favorite cup.
Takunobu Sawada is a ceramic artist with a studio in the satoyama (foothills) of Nantan City, Kyoto.
Surrounded by rich natural scenery, he creates vessels depicting animals that are both realistic and warm.
Each piece is carefully formed, and its shape is carved out with ease of use in mind when held.
The soft, milky white slipware base enhances the gentle texture unique to ceramics.

Vessels that convey the warmth of handcraftsmanship
The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush, but created by scraping away the slipware base.
Each line has movement, resulting in a finish that expresses unique artistry and warmth.
Takunobu Sawada, whose father was a Kyoto-ware/Kiyomizu-ware ceramic artist, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and already has 20 years of experience in pottery making.
At 30, he is a highly skilled craftsman who has reached the level of a veteran.

Mr. Sawada, with his youthful sensibility and refined skills, creates unique vessels that are distinctly Kyoto.
We invite you to experience their charm in your daily life.

Comment from the Owner
Formed using the intricate "tatara" slab-building method, this plate is flat and easy to use.
This size is perfect for cakes, pastries, or as a serving dish for side dishes and salads. It's a versatile piece you'll want to have several of.
Each piece, adorned with expressive animals, is a joy to behold.
Please find your favorite.
