Lisa, the minecles and us

We talk about the encounter between "Tonkachi" and Lisa in various places, so we will summarize it very easily. There was a small toy camera called Hedgehog Camera, and our relationship started with the request of Lisa to take a picture. And we were knocked out with that kind and fun personality, so we wanted to ask for the pottery work of our main business, and we decided to make the "Hatari Mouse" that triggered the encounter.

Lisa concentrated on production, and when he noticed, he created more than 20 variations. From there, we finally focused on three, and released in 2009 was "Three Hatari Mouse". Lisa has three children, so I think these three have the remnants of the three. Nowadays, it seems that Lisa's work always had the influence of familiar people.

This was an original pottery figurine that we would be handling for the first time. At that time, it was not common to decorate pottery figurines as it is now, and I did not know how to sell it, but more and more people are gradually paying attention.

The day I went to see Lisa for the first time. Cheers with wine with your husband Gunnal!

Gold rhomed!

Around 2019, I decided to make a Lisa lucky bag, and I wanted to make a great jackpot, so I made a gold rat. This is a rare rare item that is genuinely real, so that only a few samples are made, and only one set of tonkachi's company exists. Although it is a phantom rhino mouse that only appeared in the world as a jackpot, I tried to release it after a long time at Lisa's memorial exhibition (held in April 2024 at the gallery "Nogiri"). For us, it is also a work of memories that witnessed Lisa's genius, and this time, we want to deliver it to a little more people, and with the cooperation of the Swedish workshop, which we know about those days, we are limited. It will be reprinted.

(Aside) Tonkachi hedgehog

If you think about it, Tonkachi has made a lot of "Hari Mouse" since the power shovel era of the predecessor. The reason is that the designer Sasaki was somehow elaborate in the rattle. For example, there was something like this.
