The excitement of that time
The moment your eyes meet on the street, your heart skips a beat. These adorable cats were born from the memory of such an encounter. Slightly whimsical and somehow friendly, their exquisite expressions and sense of distance are lovingly expressed.

One of the reasons why you can't help but smile is the richness of the cats' expressions. They're not too cute, but they certainly have a charming and mysterious presence. They're realistic, yet full of cuteness and humor, and just looking at them will soothe your soul.

From expressive wooden cat sculptures to relaxed cat poses and fluffy fur painted on dishes and glass. As he moves back and forth between wood carving and painting, the world of cats is gradually expanding as each is inspired by the other.

It is a piece that gently accompanies you in your daily life. Not only for everyday use, but also for relaxing and treating yourself, or when welcoming important guests. When you pick it up, your mind will naturally relax and conversation will surely flow. Enjoy the joyous moments that will bring a smile to your face every time your eyes meet.

Because each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, size, weight, thickness, uneven glaze, and subtle differences in the design and pattern. There may also be variations in the glaze application, pinholes, or iron powder (black spots), but this does not affect the usability of the piece. Please enjoy the unique features that only a handmade piece can offer. You cannot choose which item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to receiving it. If you are interested, please contact us before shipping and we will email you a photo.

| Understanding of "Utsuwa" |
| Because each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in color, shape, pattern, size, thickness, weight, etc. Also, even with the same glaze and clay, there will be uneven color and shading. 〇Since each piece is painted by hand, the expression may vary. Depending on the product, small holes, small black spots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, rattles, and distortions may be found due to the manufacturing process. 〇We have processed the product images to make them as close to the actual colors as possible, but the colors and textures may appear different depending on the display screen of your computer or smartphone. 〇In addition to inspection by the manufacturer, kiln, and artist, we only deliver products that have passed final inspection at our store. *Product photos are sample shots, so the items you receive may not be identical in every detail. *We do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer convenience. Please understand this before purchasing. We hope you enjoy the unique "flavor" and "interestingness" of handmade products that you won't find in mass-produced products from factories! |
