Open this book and you step into a world where every plate, cup and lidded pot is populated by animals going quietly about their lives. Suna Fujita is the ceramic duo of Shohei Fujita and Chisato Yamano, and their tableware is covered edge to edge with fine, funny, affectionate painting — sometimes with a small sculpted creature perched on the lid.
This is their first collection, and it gathers 320 pieces arranged as an illustrated encyclopedia. You move through the animals first: the characterful creatures of the Americas, the savanna wind of Africa, the all-star cast of Asia and Oceania, the mountain-village neighbors of Japan, and the morning pasture. Then come the scenes of daily life — quiet moments, the small happiness of the local streets, feasts that nobody wants to end, ancient heroes, a leisurely aquarium, expeditions, and the busy white world of winter.
Across 240 pages you get close-up looks at the details that make these works so absorbing, whether you collect contemporary Japanese ceramics, paint your own pottery, or simply love picture-book worlds where everything lives together peacefully.
The text is in Japanese, but the book is built around the images, so you can browse and enjoy it visually. Published by Kyuryudo Art-Publishing, 2024.
