Maker / Brand
Nestled at the foot of the sacred Hakusan mountain, Atelier Yu’s workshop is a serene space where inspiration flows from its surrounding natural beauty. Seasonal blooms visible through the windows—cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas and sunflowers in summer, and bush clovers in autumn—often find their way into the artisans' designs, reflecting the charm of wildflowers alongside delightful animal motifs.
Skilled female artisans infuse each piece with gentle, soft colors, embracing the five traditional colors of Kutani ware, known as Kutani Gosai. They imbue each creation with warmth, crafting pottery that brings joy to everyday dining and a smile to all who use it.
Origin
Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture and it has a history of over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of green, yellow, red, purple, and navy blue that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
The beauty of the various styles and methods of painting is known as "Japan Kutani" and is highly regarded around the world.

Yunomi Japanese Teacups
Yunomi is a vertical, cylindrical teacup. Basically, it is used for drinking Japanese tea by yourself. Because of its large capacity, the area where the tea touches the air is small, and the tea does not get cold easily. It is also suitable when you want to drink a lot of bancha or hojicha. In sushi restaurants, tea is traditionally served in a yunomi.
