Small Animals (Large)

"Just being there"
The space becomes softer.

These tiny creatures catch our eye in our daily lives. They may be sitting in the corner of a desk, on a windowsill, or on top of a shoebox in the entrance hall... Their quiet presence brings a smile to your face.
"Kosei Kiln" is nestled in the nature of Shigaraki, Shiga. These small animals are created by the artist Maekawa Koichi, who lives with cats, and each one is unique. Their plump forms and the warmth of the ceramic can be felt in the palm of your hand. Their expressions and postures are slightly different, and each one has its own little "story."
We have received comments such as, "I thought I could only buy it locally, so I was very happy to find it online."
This piece is available to you specially thanks to the relationship entrusted to &CAT by Kosei Kiln.
Smaller sizes are also available, so choose one that suits your mood and where you want to display it.
You can find out more about artist Maekawa Koichi and the craftsmanship at Kosei Kiln on the special feature page "&PEOPLE."

One expression remains in my mind.

A gaze that makes you want to talk to it. A silence that seems to watch over you. A moment of relaxation in the midst of busy days...
The peace of mind of knowing that such a person is right next to you.
