Like a gentle spring breeze
The soft and delicate colors evoke a gentle feeling, as if a spring breeze is softly stroking your heart. The animals and plants, depicted in faint and soft colors, add a special vibrancy to everyday life.
The adorable animals, flowers, and plant patterns, drawn with a soft touch, fill you with warmth every time you hold them or use them. The world view, sprinkled with small delights, is like a fun story where you discover something new with every turn of the page.
The texture, born from repeated trial and error with paints and glazes, creates a gentle and soft atmosphere. The size is just right, providing a comfort that makes you want to pick it up every day. Furthermore, it is treated to be stain-resistant, which is a thoughtful detail.
The warmth and tranquility of the handmade colors and textures, along with the patterns of animals and plants that make you smile, gently soothe your soul. This is a vessel that quietly delivers small moments of happiness.
Each item is handmade, so there are individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness, glaze pooling, stone inclusions, slight wobbling, and subtle differences in patterns. Also, some items may have variations in how the glaze is applied, 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 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 can email you additional photos.

| Recommended Care and Precautions from Aki Ota |
| 〇 Unlike porcelain, pottery is absorbent, so please dry it thoroughly before storing. 〇 The microwave can be used for warming only. 〇 Please avoid using the dishwasher. 〇 Crazing may appear on the painted areas. This is not a crack and does not affect usability. 〇 Although it has been stain-treated, marks may appear if it comes into contact with metal cutlery or stainless steel baskets. Please clean by scrubbing with an abrasive cleaner. |
| Understanding "Pottery" |
|
〇 Each item is handmade, so there will be 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 As each piece is hand-painted, the expressions may differ. 〇 Due to the manufacturing process, some products may have small holes, small black spots, hairline scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions. 〇 We strive to process product images to be as close to the actual color as possible, but the color and texture may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver items that have passed not only the inspection of the manufacturer, kiln, and 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. We ask for your understanding and acceptance before purchasing. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "interest" unique to handmade items, which cannot be found in mass-produced factory goods! |
