The energy of the earth in your palm. Spiral brushstroke mug from Shozo Kiln, Tamba-yaki ware
A powerful, swirling brushstroke expression. This mug shines with the handiwork of "Shozo Kiln," which carries on the tradition of Tamba-yaki ware, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. The deep indigo and iron colors blend together, and the complex hues created by the firing conditions evoke a depth as if containing the energy of the universe and the earth.
A moment of peace to enjoy with all five senses With a width of 9cm and a height of 7cm, its stable form fits comfortably in your hand. The thick rim is gentle on the lips and comfortably conveys the temperature of coffee or tea.
For your morning coffee: Brew a dark roast carefully. The powerful texture of the vessel will make your wake-up cup even more special.
As a touch of color for tea time: Rich cafe au lait or chai are also recommended. The earthy warmth that envelops warm drinks will soothe your mind and body.
As a soup cup: Pour in a hearty soup. Its modern appearance, which blends in with both Japanese and Western settings, will elegantly enhance your dining table.
The "scenery" that reveals various expressions such as deep blue, dull gold, and jet black depending on how the light hits it, is never tiring to look at. The spiral ridges felt by your fingers will surely make you feel the artist's breath. How about this as a lifelong companion to richly color your moments of respite in a busy daily life?
As some products are handmade, the color, shape, and size may differ slightly from the photos. Ceramic-specific "individual differences (color unevenness, crazing, pinholes, iron powder, etc.)" are the natural characteristics intended by the artist or kiln and are not considered defects. We hope you will enjoy them as the unique "scenery" of one-of-a-kind vessels not found in mass-produced items.
Although fragile items are carefully packed, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
