Small cup -Adelie penguin A by Takunobu Sawada

The warmth of handcrafted work

Instead of using a brush, the animal designs are created by carving into the kohiki surface.

Each line has movement and personality, resulting in a piece full of warmth and originality.

Born into a family of Kyo and Kiyomizu ware artisans, Sawada has been immersed in pottery since childhood, with over 20 years of experience.

In his 30s, he is already a seasoned craftsman with refined skills and a fresh artistic vision.

Combining youthful sensitivity with honed craftsmanship, Sawada creates one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect Kyoto's rich tradition. Experience their charm in your everyday life.
