So closely tied to ceramics is Seto that the word “setomono” has long been used in Japan to mean pottery itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"696\"\u003eNagae specializes in the Nerikomi (kneaded clay) technique, in which carefully prepared colored clays are layered, cut, and assembled to create patterns that run through the entire body of the piece. This process is often compared to cutting Kintaro candy, where each slice reveals a unique and complete design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"698\" data-end=\"1003\"\u003eThis mug features a flowing pattern inspired by \u003cem data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"754\"\u003easagao\u003c\/em\u003e (morning glory), a flower long cherished in Japan as a symbol of summer mornings, fleeting beauty, and quiet elegance. Each small motif represents a single asagao blossom, repeated rhythmically across the surface to create a light, airy impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eThe asagao flowers are formed from layers of \u003cstrong data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1093\"\u003eblue, light blue, yellow, and soft pink\u003c\/strong\u003e clays, carefully kneaded and laminated to create subtle variations in tone. These gentle, muted colors enhance the calm, refreshing character of the design while allowing each blossom to remain distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1612\"\u003eRather than being painted on the surface, the pattern is created entirely through the Nerikomi technique, allowing the design to emerge naturally from within the clay body itself. As each mug is handmade, subtle variations in color and form are a natural part of the process and a hallmark of authentic Seto ware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1614\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003eComfortable to hold and well-balanced, this mug is ideal for coffee, tea, or everyday use, while also serving as a refined example of contemporary Japanese ceramic art rooted in tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"thread-bottom-container\" class=\"sticky bottom-0 group\/thread-bottom-container relative isolate z-10 w-full basis-auto has-data-has-thread-error:pt-2 has-data-has-thread-error:[box-shadow:var(--sharp-edge-bottom-shadow)] md:border-transparent md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:dark:border-transparent print:hidden content-fade single-line flex flex-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"thread-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base mx-auto [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 mb-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pointer-events-auto relative z-1 flex h-(--composer-container-height,100%) max-w-full flex-(--composer-container-flex,1) flex-col\"\u003e\u003cform class=\"group\/composer w-full\" data-type=\"unified-composer\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"bg-token-bg-primary corner-superellipse\/1.1 cursor-text overflow-clip bg-clip-padding p-2.5 contain-inline-size dark:bg-[#303030] grid grid-cols-[auto_1fr_auto] [grid-template-areas:'header_header_header'_'leading_primary_trailing'_'._footer_.'] group-data-expanded\/composer:[grid-template-areas:'header_header_header'_'primary_primary_primary'_'leading_footer_trailing'] shadow-short\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"-my-2.5 flex min-h-14 items-center overflow-x-hidden px-1.5 [grid-area:primary] group-data-expanded\/composer:mb-0 group-data-expanded\/composer:px-2.5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wcDTda_prosemirror-parent text-token-text-primary max-h-[max(30svh,5rem)] max-h-52 min-h-[var(--deep-research-composer-extra-height,unset)] flex-1 overflow-auto [scrollbar-width:thin] default-browser vertical-scroll-fade-mask\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv translate=\"no\" class=\"ProseMirror\" id=\"prompt-textarea\" data-virtualkeyboard=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 99.915%; height: 117.614px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.4876%;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 78.1325%;\"\u003eDiameter:7.3 cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight:8 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6023px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.4876%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 78.1325%; height: 19.6023px;\"\u003eCeramic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 39.2045px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.4876%; height: 39.2045px;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 78.1325%; height: 39.2045px;\"\u003eBrand:Tetsuo Nagae\u003cbr\u003eSeto city, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inaho Ceramics - Traditional Seto ware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48002953937048,"sku":"NER-MAGP","price":61.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/0488\/1048\/files\/0004_original.jpg?v=1768224694","url":"https:\/\/inahoceramics.com\/ar\/products\/japanese-nerikomi-asagao-morning-glory-pattern-mug-seto-ware-by-tetsuo-nagae-%e3%82%b3%e3%83%94%e3%83%bc","provider":"Inaho Ceramics - Traditional Seto ware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
