Inoue Tea Kimura Black Shigaraki-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Shigaraki-yaki is a celebrated form of stoneware originating from the Shigaraki Town of Shiga Prefecture, Japan. This pottery is part of the esteemed “Rokkoyo,” denoting it as one of the six oldest kilns in Japan. The unique characteristics of Shigaraki-yaki include its robust, fire-resistant clay, which beautifully showcases the natural aesthetics and texture of the material.

In the deep-rooted tradition of Japan's tea ceremony culture, there is a significant appreciation for the innate beauty of natural items. Consequently, teacups and ceramics are often crafted from coarse, unrefined clay that embodies a fusion of time-honored techniques and contemporary design. This synergy reflects the ongoing evolution and lasting impact of these historic kilns.
