“TAKEO YAKI” shows each artist’s uniqueness with various appearances based on traditional techniques. Tableware made by Yasuhiro Watashima pottery studio brings warmth to your everyday dining table.

♢MOTIF OF CHRYSANTHEMUM IN FULL BLOOM

Tableware is designed with kikka-monsho, a crest modeled on the chrysanthemum blossom, and its flower pattern. Colors which change depending on the amount of graze and burning process are controlled by skills and experiences artists have. Therefore, they can make golden yellow flowers bloom on their tableware. The clay Mr. Watashima uses infrequently brings pink color after firing. Each of them has own unique color variation from vivid to light and it is all made by nature. 

Why don’t you enjoy this warmth brought to your table?

♢MODERNIZED BY TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES

While his tableware is still produced by traditional techniques called brush marks, which can leave brush marks on its surface, and Mishima-hand, which is a way of creating design putting carved patterns of flower stamps on the leather hard and sealing up slip to the shape, it has been modernized for daily use with a wish that artists would like you to use them every day. His modern tableware is always with your life.
