Plate S Yeti | Mikiko Kato

Humor in Everyday Life

The Yeti, said to inhabit the Himalayan mountains, is depicted with an endearing expression that naturally brings a smile to your face. With its open mouth, there's a mysterious charm that can't simply be described as cute. The creator's wish to bring "humor" into daily life is embodied in this adorable piece.

Its form evokes the spirit of ancient clay figurines and Oriental ornamentation. There's an inexplicable humor inherent in the animal figures created by ancient peoples. The beauty that arises from imperfection quietly breathes life into this Yeti.

The soft, faded painting resembles a woodblock print or a rubber stamp. The creator mentioned observing the gestures of animals at a bear ranch tirelessly. This piece holds the distinct warmth that only comes from careful observation. Even in its slightly goofy expression, there's a hint of life.

Whether serving sweet treats or pouring a steaming beverage, simply having it on your table turns ordinary moments into something a little more whimsical. You admire it, use it, and your eyes meet again. Before you know it, it gently soothes your heart in everyday life.

Each item is handmade, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone bursts, slight wobbles, and subtle variations in patterns. Also, some items may have variations in glaze application, crazing, pinholes, or iron spots (black dots), but these do not affect usability. Please enjoy them as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you look forward to its arrival.
