An Adorable Expression
This bear has a vacant expression with its mouth slightly open. Its seemingly communicative expression is so adorable that just looking at it brings a soothing feeling.
Ancient Essence
The artist loves the shapes and decorated creatures from ancient Orient and the Jomon period, finding charm in their enigmatic expressions and unintentional humor. It's as if ancient and modern essences are blended, creating an inexpressible cuteness.
Just Looking at it Brings Joy
Each strand of fur is hand-carved, giving it a very realistic feel. Ms. Kato says she loves observing the various movements and expressions of bears at bear ranches. This strong curiosity might be what creates such uniquely charming expressions.
A Moment of Joy and Relaxation
This bear mug has such a strong presence that you'll want to keep it by your side. With its adorable expression, it's a mug with a mysterious charm that energizes you when you're tired and brightens your mood when you're already feeling good.
Each item is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone inclusions, slight wobbling, and subtle differences in patterns/designs. Additionally, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy these unique characteristics as part of the handmade charm. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us before shipping, and we can email you additional photos.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Mikiko Kato |
| 〇 The "medome" (sealing) treatment has been applied, so it can be used as is. 〇 Kohiki-ware is made of three layers: body, slip, and glaze, and is inherently prone to chipping. Please be careful not to bump the rim when handling. |

〇 Due to being handmade, each item will have individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, and weight. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be variations in color and shade. 〇 Since each drawing is hand-painted, the expressions may differ. 〇 Depending on the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, small black spots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions. 〇 While we process images to make them as close to the actual colors as possible, the colors and textures may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the manufacturer's, kiln's, and artist's inspections, but also our final inspection. 〇 Product photos are sample shots, so the 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 purchasing. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "interest" unique to handmade items, which cannot be found in mass-produced factory goods! |
