Maeda's pottery has a warm, fluffy, soft impression, almost like a sheep. sHe makes pottery in Shigaraki, Shiga Prefecture, under the name "Hitsuji no Teshigoto." We spoke to her about Hitsuji no teshigoto.
"I want to make the mealtimes a little more enjoyable emotionally every day. I create tableware for everyday use."
As Maeda-san explained, the first thing that surprises you when you hold it in your hand is how light it is.
The texture is soft and the size and shape are perfect for everyday use. Its natural texture and cuteness make it a perfect match for Scandinavian furniture.
The basic method is using a potter's wheel and a tatara pottery. Depending on the situation, I use different methods, such as using plaster molds or hand-forming.
Hitsuji no Teshigoto creates designs that combine calm gray and brown. It's fun to choose from a variety of designs depending on your coordination and mood! 
"My drawings are ordinary, but they aren't influenced by any one thing. Rather, the images are a mixture of things I have seen up until now. I don't do anything precise, I just go by my instincts, so sometimes I don't understand what I'm doing," she told us playfully.
Maeda-san went to an arts high school and tried out a variety of things, but pottery was the one she was most passionate about. Even now, he says she often becomes so focused on pottery that he loses track of time.
Like a child engrossed in creating something... I'm not sure how to explain it, but it seems that the enjoyment is transmitted to the user because the pottery is created with such excitement.
