Mug Cup - Flapjack Octopus by Takunobu Sawada

Vessels that convey the warmth of handcrafted work

The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush, but expressed by scratching away the slip-glazed surface.

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 already been creating pottery for 20 years.

At just 30 years old, he is a highly skilled craftsman who has reached the level of a veteran.

Mr. Sawada, who combines youthful sensibility with refined technique, creates highly original vessels unique to Kyoto.

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