Realistic Yet Endearing.
Relax with your favorite cup.

Takanobu Sawada, a ceramic artist based in the countryside of Nantan, Kyoto.

Surrounded by the beauty of nature, Sawada creates pottery adorned with realistic yet warm animal motifs.

Each piece is carefully handcrafted, designed with usability in mind, and shaped to ensure a comfortable fit in your hands.

The soft, milky-white kohiki glaze enhances the gentle texture unique to pottery, giving each piece its distinct charm.

Feel the Warmth of Handmade Craftsmanship

The animal designs are not painted with a brush, but instead, they are expressed by scraping away the kohiki base.

Each line has its own movement, creating a unique and warm texture that adds character to each piece.

Takanobu Sawada, with a father who is a Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware ceramic artist, has been immersed in pottery since childhood. With 20 years of experience, he has honed his skills.

Now in his 30s, Sawada is an established artist with exceptional skill, creating pottery with a refined touch.

Combining youthful creativity with finely honed techniques, Sawada produces pottery that embodies the unique spirit of Kyoto.

Experience the charm of his work in your daily life.
