Located in the scenic countryside of Nantan City, Kyoto, Takunobu Sawada's workshop captures the essence of Japan's traditional landscapes.

This collection features hand-crafted pottery with realistic yet warm animal illustrations, created by Sawada.

Each piece is carefully shaped by hand and finely trimmed to ensure both usability and aesthetic beauty, with a soft, milky white finish typical of ceramic.

The animal illustrations are not painted, but instead, the white slip is scraped away to create unique and warm expressions.

Born into a family of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware artisans, Sawada has had a strong interest in ceramics since childhood. With 20 years of experience, he is now considered a veteran in the field.

Combining youthful creativity and skilled craftsmanship, Sawada creates original Kyoto pottery that brings new life to traditional designs. Don't miss the opportunity to add his pieces to your collection.
