Exclusivity Note: Each ornament is handmade, so subtle variations in color and shape are part of its natural beauty.

Tsukimi is a sculptural expression of Japan’s moon-viewing tradition, shaped in fine pottery.

Master potter Kazuhiro Kojima of Nunobiki Pottery handcrafts each piece, building a deep cobalt night sky, a rising red Mt. Fuji, and two ivory rabbits beneath a golden moon, all finished with layered glazes that reveal subtle tonal shifts.

Gentle asymmetries and hand-tool traces affirm its wabi-sabi character and distance it from mass production.

Designed as a seasonal ornament or quiet focal point, it brings a refined sense of Tsukimi into a modern interior.

More Information

Handcrafted as a Singular Seasonal Piece
Each Tsukimi ornament is handcrafted by Kazuhiro Kojima at Nunobiki Pottery, so every piece carries its own subtle balance and expression.
Slight differences in contour, glaze flow, and hand-finished detail make each one feel individual and far removed from decorative mass production.
A Moonlit Scene in Glaze and Relief
The defining feature of Tsukimi is its sculptural surface, where a deep cobalt sky, red Mt. Fuji, golden moon, and two ivory rabbits come together in one compact ceramic scene.
Layered glazes create soft tonal shifts, while the raised rabbits add movement and charm. The result is a small but vivid ceramic landscape.
Cultural Heritage of Tsukimi
Tsukimi (月見), meaning “moon viewing,” is a traditional Japanese custom centered on admiring the autumn moon and the beauty of the season.
The moon and rabbits are deeply linked to this imagery, giving the ornament a quiet cultural meaning that goes beyond decoration.

The Artist

Taro Kojima

Location: Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Technique: Nanasai Tenmoku
Tradition: Kyoto ware / Shigaraki ware

Born in 1940 in Miyagi Prefecture, Taro Kojima spent his formative years training across Kyoto and Shigaraki, absorbing two of Japan's most distinct ceramic traditions before establishing Nunobiki Kiln in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture.

Nestled near the shores of Lake Biwa, the kiln is a family endeavor where monozukuri is not a philosophy but a daily rhythm. Working with Shigaraki clay, prized for its coarse grain and its deep affinity with fire, Kojima-san approaches each piece as a singular event.

His signature Nanasai Tenmoku glaze is applied entirely by hand. Through firing, it transforms into deep transparency and varied color, capable of rendering natural imagery directly onto the clay, making every piece genuinely unrepeatable.
