Delicate beauty and cuteness
The slipware, with its delicate yet bold compositions, possesses breathtaking beauty, while the gently nuanced, soft textures of the Washi-dyed ducklings gently soothe the heart of the viewer, and the colorful and adorable hand-painted designs bring a feeling of happiness. They tell a diverse array of stories, almost as if they weren't all created by a single artisan.
As the saying goes, "pottery matures with use," and these pieces deepen in character and subtly change their appearance with daily use. They are vessels that gently color your life, quietly accompanying you and aging together with you.
The colors that bleed through the Japanese paper gently blend into the clay, creating a warm and soft texture. Just looking at the expressions of the subtly breathing flowers and plants makes your heart feel at ease.
With a calm color palette and a modern, graceful presence. While evoking a sense of nostalgia, they bring new discoveries with each viewing. Just placing them gently on your daily table naturally relaxes your mind and brings peaceful, happy moments.
As each item is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbles, patterns, etc. Also, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect their use. Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we will email you additional photos.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Ayano Arai |
| 〇 To ensure long-lasting use, we recommend performing *medome* (sealing pores) before initial use. 〇 For pieces with gold accents, avoid microwave use. Also, be careful not to scrub vigorously, as this may cause the gold to peel. 〇 We recommend washing with a mild dish detergent and a soft sponge, without using abrasive cleaners. After washing, please dry thoroughly before storing. |
| Understanding "Pottery" |
|
〇 Due to being handmade, each piece will have individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Additionally, even with the same glaze and clay, there may be variations in color unevenness and shading. 〇 Since each piece is hand-painted, the expressions may vary. 〇 Depending on the product, small holes, small black dots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbles, or distortions may be present due to the manufacturing process. 〇 While we strive to process product 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 inspections of the manufacturer, kiln, or artist 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 agree to this before making a purchase. 〇 We hope you will enjoy the "flavor" and "charm" unique to handmade items, which mass-produced factory goods do not possess! |
