About this craft
Kiyomizu-ware (清水焼) is a 400-year-old Kyoto pottery tradition centered on the Kiyomizu temple district. Known for delicate porcelain and hand-thrown forms. Choju-giga (跳ねる動物) refers to playful animal illustrations from 12th-century Japanese scroll art, depicting rabbits, frogs, and monkeys in human situations—a distinctly Japanese aesthetic rooted in Buddhist temple art.
