Realistic, yet somehow endearing.
Take a moment to relax with your favorite cup.

Takunobu Sawada is a potter with a studio in the satoyama (foothills) of Nantan City, Kyoto.

Surrounded by rich natural scenery, he creates vessels with warm, realistic depictions of animals.

Each piece is carefully formed, with a shape carved to be easy to hold.

The soft, milky white slip-ware body enhances the gentle texture unique to ceramics.

Vessels that convey the warmth of handcraftsmanship

The animal designs are not painted with a brush, but rather created by scratching away the slip-ware surface.

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

Takunobu Sawada, whose father is a Kyoto ware/Kiyomizu ware potter, has been familiar with pottery since childhood and already has 20 years of experience.

At 30, he is a craftsman with solid skills, reaching the level of a veteran.

Sawada, with his youthful sensibility and refined technique, creates unique vessels brimming with Kyoto's originality.

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