Please note that some aspects, such as shape, distortion, texture, and color, may not be clearly visible in the images.
Please understand in advance that this item is a handmade product, individually crafted by the artist.
There may be some parts where iron spots (black dots) appear, which are caused by the oxidation of iron content in the clay during firing.
Additionally, small indentations (pinholes) may be visible, but these are natural phenomena that occur during the firing process and do not indicate a defective product.
Please enjoy them as part of the item's unique character.

Hoshina Akiko
Akiko Hoshina Kiku, who creates pottery in Tokyo.
After enrolling in the Department of Spatial Design at Musashino Art University Junior College, pottery was one of the things she started, driven by the desire to "try everything I'm interested in while I'm a student."
After graduating from university, she worked as a flower coordinator, decorating venues at wedding halls and other locations, and adding color to many spaces.
Later, after her childcare responsibilities settled down, she started attending pottery classes again.
As she spent more time working with clay, her passion for pottery deepened, and she began participating in various events.
In terms of "adding color to spaces," her previous job as a flower coordinator and her current role as a pottery artist seem connected.
In her creative process, she constantly researches the characteristics of clay and glazes to shape the endless stream of ideas that come to her, pursuing new forms of expression.
The animal lidded container series was born from a friend's simple request: "Try making a Java sparrow!"
Each piece has an adorable expression and is full of charm that makes you involuntarily smile.
"I want to create works that naturally bring a smile to people's faces and soothe their hearts."
Filled with such sentiments, her works bring gentle color and warmth to daily life.
