Like a gentle spring breeze
The soft and delicate colors deliver a gentle feeling, as if a spring breeze is softly stroking your heart. The animals and plants, drawn in pale and gentle hues, add a special touch to everyday life.

The adorable animals, flowers, and plant patterns, drawn with a soft touch, bring a warm feeling every time you pick them up and 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, created through repeated trial and error with paints and glazes, creates a gentle and soft atmosphere. The size is also just right, offering a comfort that makes you want to pick it up every day. Furthermore, it's a thoughtful touch that it has been treated to be stain-resistant, making it less prone to dirt.

The colors and textures evoke the warmth and comfort of handmade craftsmanship, and the animal and plant designs that make you smile gently soothe your spirit. This is a vessel that quietly delivers small joys.

As each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, thickness, size, weight, glaze unevenness/pooling, stone inclusions, slight wobbling, and subtle differences in patterns and 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 of handmade craftsmanship. We are unable to select which 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 will email you separate photos.

| Recommended care and precautions from Aki Ota |
| 〇 Unlike porcelain, pottery is absorbent, so please dry it thoroughly before storing. 〇 You can use a microwave for warming purposes. 〇 Please refrain from using a dishwasher. 〇 Some painted areas may have crazing. This is not a crack and does not affect use. 〇 Although it has been treated for stain resistance, contact with metal cutlery or stainless steel baskets may leave marks. Please clean by scrubbing with an abrasive cleaner. |

〇 As each item is handmade, 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 Since each painting is hand-drawn, the expressions may differ. 〇 Depending on the product, small holes, black dots, scratches, protrusions, pinholes, wobbling, or distortions may be observed due to the manufacturing process. 〇 While we strive to process images to display product colors as close to the actual product as possible, colors and textures may appear different depending on your computer or smartphone display. 〇 We deliver products 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. Please understand and acknowledge this before purchasing. 〇 We hope you enjoy the "flavor" and "interest" unique to handmade items, which are not found in mass-produced factory goods! |
