Take a moment to relax with your favorite cup.

Pottery that evokes the warmth of craftsmanship

The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush but rather created by scraping away the slipware base.

Each line possesses movement, resulting in a unique and warm artistic quality.

Takanobu Sawada, whose father is a potter of Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki ware, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and has already accumulated 20 years of experience in pottery making.

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

Mr. Sawada, who combines a youthful sensibility with refined techniques, creates unique pottery full of Kyoto's originality.

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

Comment from the shop owner

This piece is shaped using the laborious "tatara" technique, resulting in a flat and easy-to-use form.

This plate is a highly versatile size, perfect for serving cakes, pastries, side dishes, or salads. It's a useful piece of pottery that you can never have enough of.

Adorned with expressive animals, it's a delightful piece just to look at.
