Powerful, undulating brushstroke patterns. This mug shines with the handiwork of "Shozan Kiln," which carries on the tradition of Tamba 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 give it a depth that seems to capture the energy of the universe and the earth.
A cup of tranquility to enjoy with all five senses With a width of 9cm and a height of 7cm, it has a stable form that fits comfortably in your hand. The thick rim is gentle on the lips and comfortably conveys the temperature of coffee or tea.
For morning coffee: Carefully drip dark roast beans. The powerful texture of the vessel makes your awakening cup even more special.
To add color to tea time: Rich cafe au lait or chai are also recommended. The warmth of the earth, embracing warm drinks, soothes both mind and body.
As a soup cup: Pour in hearty soup. Its modern appearance, which blends in with both Japanese and Western settings, brings a chic touch to the 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 irregularities that convey to your fingers will make you feel the artist's breath. How about it as a lifelong companion that richly colors your moments of respite in a busy daily life?
As some products are handmade, the color, shape, and size may vary slightly from the photos. The "individual differences" peculiar to pottery (color unevenness, crazing, pinholes, iron powder, etc.) are natural textures intended by the artist and kiln, and are not considered defects. We hope you will enjoy the "scenery" that a one-of-a-kind vessel, which mass-produced products do not have, offers.
