Realistic, yet endearing.
Relax and unwind with your favorite mug.

In a tranquil rural area of Nantan, Kyoto, ceramic artist Takanobu Sawada crafts his pottery surrounded by lush greenery and mountain air.

His work brings animals to life with a gentle, natural warmth—realistic yet full of charm—capturing the peaceful essence of the countryside.

Each mug is hand-shaped and carved with ease of use in mind. The slender silhouette is designed to fit comfortably in the hand.

The soft ivory tone of the kohiki glaze enhances the quiet beauty of traditional Japanese ceramic craftsmanship.

Kohiki pottery with hand-carved animal design

Experience the warmth of handmade tradition

Rather than painting, Sawada uses a technique that involves carving into the kohiki clay to bring each animal to life. The result is full of texture and personality.

Every stroke conveys movement and feeling—making each mug a unique work of art rooted in Kyoto’s traditional ceramic heritage.

A second-generation potter trained from childhood, Sawada now has over 20 years of experience creating pottery that bridges tradition and originality.

His designs reflect Kyoto’s rich artistic history while embracing a fresh, expressive spirit.

This lovely, compact mug is perfect for daily use—adding a subtle, handmade touch to your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or evening wind-down.

Enjoy the comfort of Kyoto-made pottery, crafted with care and tradition.
