These cups are not only visually appealing but also designed to enhance the tea-drinking experience, connecting tea enthusiasts with centuries of craftsmanship and cultural history.

Traditional Bizen-yaki Firing Process

Bizen-yaki pottery is one of Japan’s oldest ceramic techniques, and the firewood fallen ash glaze is an essential part of this ancient tradition. During the firing process, wood ash naturally falls onto the surface of the tea cups, creating a unique, organic texture. The glaze varies in color, with shades ranging from dark earthy browns to lighter, more golden hues. This natural and imperfect glazing process is what gives each cup its distinct look, as no two pieces are ever exactly the same. The results are cups that not only serve a functional purpose but also tell a story of tradition and nature’s influence on artistry.
