Delicate beauty and cuteness
The slipware, with its delicate yet bold composition, possesses breathtaking beauty, while the gently nuanced and soft texture of the washi-dyed ducklings gently soothe the heart of the viewer. The rich and lovely painted designs bring a sense of happiness. It is almost unbelievable that such a diverse range of stories could emerge from a single creator.
As the saying goes, "pottery is a material that grows with use," and indeed, with continued use in daily life, it gains depth and subtly changes its expression over time. These vessels gently accompany your everyday life, enriching it as you share time together.
The colors, bleeding through the Japanese paper, gently blend into the clay surface, creating a warm and soft texture. Just looking at the expressions of the subtly blooming flowers brings a sense of calm to the heart.
With subdued colors and a modern, graceful presence. While evoking a nostalgic atmosphere, it brings new discoveries every time you look at it. Just by placing it gently on your daily dining table, your heart naturally unwinds, bringing calm and happy moments.
As each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone inclusions, slight wobbling, and patterns/designs. Additionally, some items may show variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these unique expressions that are characteristic of handmade items. You cannot choose which specific item you receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you are concerned, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

| Recommended care instructions and precautions from Ayano Arai |
| 〇 To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend pre-treating the pottery before use. 〇 For items with gold accents, please refrain from using a microwave oven. Also, be careful as scrubbing too hard may cause the gold to peel off. 〇 We recommend using a mild dish soap and a soft sponge, without abrasive cleaners. After washing, dry thoroughly before storing. |
| Understanding "Pottery" |
|
〇 As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be color variations and nuances. 〇 Since each painting is hand-drawn, the expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, black dots, fine scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbles, or distortions. 〇 While we process images to be as close to the actual color as possible, the color and texture may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the manufacturer's, kiln's, or artist's inspection, but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are samples, so the actual item you receive will not be identical in every detail. 〇 We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preferences. Please understand and acknowledge this before making a purchase. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade products, which mass-produced items do not possess! |
