Mug Cup - Platypus by Takunobu Sawada

Vessels that convey the warmth of handwork

The animal patterns are not drawn with a brush, but rather expressed by scraping away the kohiki (powdered clay) base.

Each line has movement, resulting in a finish that conveys unique artistry and warmth.

Takanobu Sawada, whose father is 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 years old, he is a craftsman with solid skills, reaching the level of a veteran.

Sawada-san combines a fresh sensibility with refined technique to create highly original vessels unique to Kyoto.

Please experience their charm in your daily life.
