Utako Yamada

Utako Yamada is a Tokyo-based illustrator and children's book author who has created a "teatime" shop called Karel Capek (rather obscurely named after the Czech author who invented the term "robot"). She designs really lovely and whimsical packaging for the range!


The only children's book of hers that has been translated into English so far is called The Story of Cherry the Pig but I'm hoping there will be more...


She also creates postcards, prints, toys and homewares and I love every single thing!

Welcome Tea and English Garden. They're my two favourites, but they're all magnificent really.
