Realistic, yet full of charm.
Take a peaceful break with your favorite handmade cup.

In the serene countryside of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada shapes his creations surrounded by lush mountains and quiet forests.

His handmade pottery features animals rendered with both realism and warmth—capturing a gentle spirit inspired by nature.

Each piece is shaped by hand and carefully carved for comfort in everyday use, resulting in a functional and beautifully balanced form.

The soft, milky-white kohiki clay brings out the gentle texture and warmth that defines traditional Japanese ceramic art.

Hand-carved kohiki surface with animal design

Discover the warmth of handmade work

These charming animal illustrations aren’t painted—they’re carved by hand into the kohiki clay, creating lively lines and textures that move with the form of the piece.

Every detail adds to the mug’s individuality and sense of warmth, making it more than just a vessel—it's a small piece of art.

Takanobu Sawada, the son of a Kyo and Kiyomizu ware potter, has been working with clay since childhood and now brings over 20 years of experience to his craft.

In his 30s, he’s already earned recognition as a master of his field, known for uniting Kyoto’s ceramic heritage with fresh creative vision.

Sawada’s work reflects a balance of tradition and originality—distinctive Kyoto pottery that adds warmth and artistry to daily life.

Make this handmade ceramic mug from Japan part of your routine and enjoy its quiet, enduring presence.
