This handcrafted yunomi teacup is made at Rokubei Kiln, one of the most respected kilns in Seto’s Akazu area, known for producing traditional Akazu ware, a nationally designated Japanese Traditional Craft.
The cup features a rich Oribe green glaze paired with a subtle crackle glaze. The glaze pools gently in the carved horizontal lines, creating depth and a quiet, expressive surface unique to each piece. A hand-drawn and hand-engraved chrysanthemum motif decorates the front, adding a refined yet approachable accent.
While you can feel the natural weight and warmth of the clay, the cup is well-balanced and comfortable to hold, making it ideal for everyday use. The interior also displays beautiful crackle patterns, which will gradually deepen and evolve over time as the cup is used, allowing you to enjoy the changes that come with daily tea moments.
Rooted in tradition yet designed for modern life, this yunomi brings a sense of calm Japanese craftsmanship to the table—perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift.
