Realistic, yet tenderly charming.
Pause and relax with your favorite handmade cup.

In the peaceful countryside of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada creates his work surrounded by nature’s calm.

His handmade pottery is decorated with animals rendered in a lifelike yet warm and inviting style, inspired by the natural beauty of Japan.

Each piece is carefully shaped and carved by hand, designed with usability in mind to fit naturally in the hand.

The soft, milky-white kohiki clay enhances the gentle feel of traditional Japanese ceramic, both visually and to the touch.

Carved animal detail on kohiki ceramic

Warmth you can feel in every handmade detail

The animal motifs are not painted—they are hand-carved into the kohiki clay, giving them depth and motion with every stroke.

The expressive lines and carved textures make each piece feel personal, full of warmth and originality.

Sawada, whose father is a Kyoto potter of Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, has been immersed in ceramic craft since childhood.

Now with more than 20 years of experience, he is recognized as a masterful artist who blends traditional Japanese techniques with fresh creativity.

With refined skill and a youthful artistic spirit, Sawada crafts original pieces that reflect the depth and beauty of Kyoto’s pottery tradition.

Let this handmade ceramic mug from Japan become part of your daily life—a small moment of joy with every use.
