Kata Kata is the brand created by two textile designers Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai, based in Tokyo.  Their distinct animal characters  - whales, orangutan, bears, bird and hyena – are formed from simple linework and a minimal colour palette screen printed onto fabrics using the traditional katazome technique. Their popularity has led to a range of stationery - cards and letters.

Kurashiki Design Planning company makers of homewares with a quirky, fun aesthetic, have worked with Kata Kata to create a ceramics range. The distinct animal characters have been transformed into a series of small ceramic dishes maintaining their naïve, hand-drawn style.
