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 of 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 floral coordinator, decorating venues for weddings and other events, and has colored many spaces.
Later, after her childcare responsibilities eased, she began 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 "coloring a space," she feels that her previous job as a floral coordinator and her current work as a ceramic artist are connected.
In her creative process, she pursues expression by researching the characteristics of clay and glaze to give form to the ideas that continuously emerge.
The animal lidded container series was born from a friend's suggestion to "try making java sparrows!"
Each piece has an adorable expression, full of charm that makes you involuntarily smile.
She says, "I want to create works that naturally bring a smile to people's faces and calm their hearts."
Her works, infused with such feelings, bring gentle color and warmth to daily life.
