This yunomi teacup showcases the intricate beauty of crystalline glaze, with naturally occurring variations in each piece. The soft pink gradient, applied through a spraying technique, creates a gentle, warm impression reminiscent of cherry blossoms and a soft sunset glow.
The firing process demands careful temperature adjustments, and Touan uses multiple kilns dedicated to crystalline glaze, allowing each piece to develop its own natural expression while maintaining the series' signature look.
With a generous 230 ml (7.8 fl oz) capacity, this yunomi holds plenty of tea for a relaxed moment. The warm pink hue contrasts beautifully with the deep green of freshly brewed tea, adding a sense of calm to the experience. Designed for both beauty and function, this teacup is microwave and dishwasher safe.

Maker / Brand
Founded in 1922, Touan is one of Kyoto's distinguished kilns specializing in Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware. As one of the largest workshops in Kyoto, all stages of production are meticulously carried out by hand. Touan is dedicated to crafting exquisite, seasonally inspired designs, employing underglaze painting, where intricate colors are applied before glazing. This process ensures that each creation retains its delicate hues and is resistant to wear, embodying both beauty and durability.
Origin
Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, collectively known as Kyo-yaki or Kiyomizu-yaki, are esteemed crafts from Kyoto. Unlike other pottery styles, they integrate various techniques from across Japan, resulting in unique, handmade pieces. Each item is crafted meticulously, from shaping on the pottery wheel to intricate painting, showcasing exceptional modeling skills and delicate designs.
With a rich history intertwined with traditional Japanese culture, Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware are celebrated for their refined artistry and elegance. Known for their vibrant and detailed paintings, they were officially recognized as a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1977. Today, these ceramics are prized for their high artistic quality, embodying both historical craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication.

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.
Pink
Pink is frequently linked with emotions such as love, care, maturity, and romance. Pink tableware uniquely captures these feelings, evoking a sense of warmth and sweetness that reflects the essence of blossoms and the emotions they inspire.
In Japan, pink is a color deeply connected to the beauty of spring. Known as sakura iro "cherry blossom color," it embodies the hue of spring sunlight shining on blooming cherry trees. Another notable shade is momo zome, the vibrant pink of peach blossoms, which is more vivid than sakura iro. Additionally, there's nadeshiko iro, a pink with a slight lean towards purple, named after a plant featured in the classic Japanese anthology, the Manyoshu.
