I have been involved in pottery for about 20 years.

For many years, I have been making pottery, focusing on tableware.

"I want to live with what I love"

I think that's how my pottery making began.

Even now, when I think about the many people who are using it, it makes me feel warm inside.

Furthermore, I have long wanted to go beyond the framework of tableware and create "something" that can be cherished and kept by hand for a long time.

One day, she saw some blackberries in her garden and thought to herself, "I wish I could make earrings like those," so she began kneading each berry and arranging them one by one to make earrings containing about 20 berries.

However, there were many challenges in creating the piece I had in mind using clay.

Something that took a long time to shape

"It cracks easily when dry"

"Even if you make the left and right sides the same while measuring, they will end up being different sizes once baked."

"Even the slightest difference in how the glaze is applied becomes very noticeable."

"Joining with metal allergy-friendly parts that are durable enough to withstand years of use and are safe for the skin"

There is no end to the things I can write.

I began to understand why, apart from one-of-a-kind pieces such as delicate crafts, we rarely see small artworks.

As we progressed, we gradually began to see areas for improvement, so we continued experimenting and prototyping.

Every time I took the pottery out of the kiln, I felt like I was praying.

While there were some things in common with the pottery and ceramic making I had been doing up until then, a completely new world was opening up.

The trial and error continued, and several seemingly serendipitous discoveries occurred, which led to new techniques and kiln firing methods.

It's taken more than three years to get to this point, but I'm now able to create a work that I can share with you.

I was also able to gradually increase the variety of my work.


I would love to deliver pieces that can be casually worn with a variety of outfits and that you will grow to love more and more as the years go by.

Just like our tableware, we only use materials that are safe to put in your mouth, and all of our products are made with materials that can be safely used by people with sensitive skin or metal allergies.

Here we talk about the features of the product and our 3-year warranty.
