Each creation reflects a unique harmony between tradition and innovation, making Takafumi Taka’s art highly regarded by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
I couldn't be happier with this Kutani ware incense burner. The decoration is just beautiful. The store were very quick to process and ship my order - I'd happily buy from them again.
I was so pleased with the beautiful craftsmanship of this delicate bowl, and the way it came wrapped in a wooden box tied up in cloth. Exceptional experience.
