Oribe Sushi Yunomi Tea Cup Chrysanthemum motif.

Handcrafted YUNOMI Tea Cup – Oribe Green & Crackle Glaze with Hand-Engraved Chrysanthemum | Rokubei Kiln, Akazu Ware (Seto)
This exquisite YUNOMI tea cup is handcrafted at the esteemed Rokubei Kiln in Seto’s Akazu area, renowned for its long-standing tradition of high-quality ceramics known as Akazuyaki. Certified as a National Traditional Craft of Japan, Akazu ware showcases timeless craftsmanship rooted in centuries of ceramic artistry.
The cup features a beautiful combination of glossy Oribe green glaze and a subtle crackle glaze. Oribe glaze, named after the tea master Furuta Oribe—a disciple of Sen no Rikyu—is characterized by its deep green hue and lustrous surface. The glaze pools in the recessed areas of the cup, creating a rich, profound expression unique to each piece.
Delicate hand-engraved lines and a hand-drawn chrysanthemum (KIKU) motif add elegance and character, reflecting the beauty of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The hand-formed shape offers a warm, organic feel, making it a pleasure to hold and use—perfect for both daily tea moments and special occasions.
Rokubei Kiln is one of the most representative kilns of Seto Akazu ware. Their pieces have been featured as matcha tea bowls at the Japan Pavilion in Expo Milano and as official gifts during the Ise-Shima G7 Summit, underlining their prestige and excellence.
A piece that embodies both tradition and innovation—this tea cup is sure to elevate your tea time.
