    I stopped by because I wanted a one-of-a-kind item by the artist. This time, I liked the vase rather than the tableware and bought it. This is a shop with a calm atmosphere and wonderful tableware. It was a shop that I would like to visit again when I go to Kyoto.

    A shop that sells pottery made by artists. I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, but the store staff was patient with me. There are many delicious restaurants in the nearby Sanjokai shopping street, so I think it would be a good idea to stop by there as well.

    I had the pleasure of visiting his solo exhibition before. It was beautifully displayed and soothing. The exhibition booth is on the second floor, so you can take your time to look around, but some people were reluctant to take off their shoes, so I thought it would be best to be careful when going there.

    I felt that this is a shop that sells pottery made by artists according to the owner's taste. There is also a small garden...The inside of the store is calm. I first went to a shop in Kyoto that had a teapot that I liked on Instagram and was selling it from the artist's page, but...they didn't have the product I wanted...I came across a teapot in a different shape that I liked, so I bought it. I felt that it would be difficult to enter a store unless you had a slight interest in it, and a store that you wouldn't notice unless you had a slight interest in it.

    A small shop with unique selections. I bought a few to bring home.

    There are natural-style vessels and dark-colored vessels, and although there are some that I would like, it is a bit disappointing that they are not in the price range that can be easily used. Although there aren't many items for sale, you might be able to find one you like. Space:★★★ Reasonableness: ★★ Number of items: ★★

    (Translated by Google) Old house converted into a porcelain shop and cafeteria. Friendly treatment and relaxed atmosphere. Very close to the Nino Castle. (Original) Casa antigua reconvertida en tienda de porcelana y cafetería. Trato amable y con ambiente relajado. Muy cerca del Castillo Nino.

    The restaurant has a very calm atmosphere. I visited twice and purchased items the second time. The selection was completely different between the first time and the second time, and it was a lot of fun just looking at it. I bought a cup without a handle. There are reviews that the price is high, but I don't think the price is surprising. When I actually held it in my hands and looked at the texture and design, I felt that it was worth the price. The staff at the store were very responsive, and I was able to find some great items by removing items from the back that weren't on the front. I purchased it for a presentation, so I asked for it to be wrapped, and it was wrapped very carefully and in a fashionable, mature look. It is said that there is no need to perform any initial processing before using the pottery. I was told that I could use it by washing it with detergent. I would like to visit again. When I went, it was just after 11:30 and there were about five customers.
