🎨 About the Artist – Craft Yuuki

Craft Yuuki was founded in 1997 by ceramic artist Kiyotaka Yamazaki in Seto, Aichi Prefecture—one of Japan’s most historic pottery towns with over 1,000 years of ceramic tradition.
Before establishing his studio, Yamazaki trained at a major Seto porcelain manufacturer, where he learned prototype creation and product design.

Today, every piece is entirely handmade by Yamazaki himself—from design and sculpting to final finishing—ensuring each work has its own unique personality and warmth.

🌿 “Real Kawaii” – Warmth with Character

Inspired by animals and birds, Yamazaki’s creations are designed to bring a gentle sense of comfort and calm to everyday life.
He calls his philosophy “Real Kawaii”—a balance between lifelike realism and soft, endearing charm.

Using traditional mold-making techniques (not slip casting), each piece retains subtle variations that reflect the artist’s touch, giving every clock its own individuality.

🍀 Lucky Motifs & Japanese Tradition

Owls, lucky cats (maneki neko), and geckos are recurring motifs in Craft Yuuki’s work, each chosen for their cultural meaning as symbols of good fortune in Japan.

In Japanese culture, clocks are often given to celebrate new beginnings, such as moving into a new home or opening a shop. This tradition has made Craft Yuuki’s Maneki Neko clocks especially beloved as thoughtful, symbolic gifts.

✨ A Warm Accent for Everyday Life

Blending Seto’s ceramic heritage with heartfelt artistry, Craft Yuuki continues to create warm, expressive pieces that bring a gentle smile to daily life—one tick of the tail at a time.
