About -SOZORO-

-SOZORO- Japanese cypress bonsai

Gourds are also a popular plant in the world of Zen, with one Zen riddle even going as far as to ask, "Can a slimy catfish be caught with a round, smooth gourd?"
QUTOTEN.'s model "㘴 -SOZORO-" is a flowerpot created by focusing on the unique shape of the gourd. The name "㘴 (SOZORO)" comes from the fact that the shape of the gourd resembles "the posture of a person doing zazen."

This model, "㘴 -SOZORO-", best fulfils one of QUTOTEN.'s philosophies : "First and foremost, enjoy yourself."

About Touan, the Kyoto-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery manufacturer

About Touan, the Kyoto-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki Pottery Maker

Since its founding in 1922 at Sennyuji Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery manufacturer "Touan" has continued to use high-quality raw materials and create works by skilled craftsmen, which have earned it a high reputation for their quality and creativity.
While inheriting the traditions of Kyoto ware from Nonomura Ninsei and Ogata Kenzan, he is constantly working on technological innovation and continues to create works that stand out from other Kyoto ware.
"㘴 -SOZORO-" was planned and designed by QUTOTEN., and after numerous consultations with the fourth-generation head of the family, Yoshiaki Dobuchi, about the development of glazes and the selection of clay, the product was produced by the hands of artisans.
