It is a size that a child can straddle, and in its soft ice gray color, it has a strong presence, yet its colonized appearance is just lovely. If you put something auspicious on its back, I am sure it will bring you happiness as well.

Ceramic artist living in London,Yuta SegawaIt's hard to tell from the photo, but the size of Mr. Kikuchi's masterpiece is super miniature, about the size of a thumb, even at L. . Moreover, it is even more surprising to learn that he makes these pieces by hand!　Without his outstanding skills, he would never be able to create something of this size. So, they really want to raise the price of the S size more than the L size, but they have settled on the current price in accordance with the law of mass. Yuta Segawa's work is currently available only at "IM OK" in Japan. I would like to have a collection of Segawa's works of art before their value goes up too much.
