Description

Put a smile on your face with this unique small Yunomi teacup from Kousai Kiln.

This charmingly designed teacup is handmade combining the Shigaraki style "Yakishime(high-fired unglazed ceramics)" and traditional "Some-nishiki," a technique where a product is first glazed with white and blue patterns and then is further decorated with detailed hand-painted drawings. Stoneware items are rarely seen in Hasami Ware. Items from Kousai Kiln are popular for their unique style and designs on the rustic texture of stoneware.

The face of the rabbit in the front and the traditional Japanese patterns in the back are coated with a smooth glaze and the remaining surface retains its coarse and rustic stoneware texture. The rabbit's ears peek out from the rim of teacup and its tail is neatly painted on the backside. 

Enjoy the different traditional Japanese patterns also painted on the backside; the hemp leaf pattern in red, the Seigaiha ocean wave pattern in Indigo blue, the Shippou interlocking circular patterns in green and the Jimon(designs used for kimono fabric) pattern in blue. 

The rustic stoneware makes this teacup perfect for Japanese green tea, Sencha and brown roasted tea, Hojicha. Children will also enjoy drinking out of this teacup as well with the adorable rabbit face in the front.

Match this teacup with the plate and rice bowl with same "Playful Rabbit" motif to make a complete set. 

Kosai Kiln is owned by Hirohiko Umeno, a potter engaged in pottery making in Hasami-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture. He trained at a Kiyomizu ware kiln in Kyoto City and opened his own kiln in Mt. Nakao in 1991. He produces unique pottery based on handmade and hand-painted techniques.
