A Hand-painted Chōjū-giga Piece Born in Kyoto, Echoing a Millennium of History

The animals of Chōjū-giga, considered Japan's oldest comic, are depicted with rhythmic brushstrokes that convey the artist's breath and energy.

When stacked, the design appears from the rim, offering a special moment as if holding a picture scroll in your hands.

This piece beautifully harmonizes the delicate craftsmanship of Kiyomizu-ware with the light, flowing design of the emakimono, making it a truly unique work.

The cup is the perfect size for enjoying tea or water, while the bowl is versatile enough to serve as a rice bowl or small dish.

Handcrafted by skilled Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware artisans, this is a one-of-a-kind piece of Kyoto pottery.

It also makes an excellent gift, allowing you to share the joy of Japanese tradition and beauty with someone special.
