Water Plant Japanese Teacup

This Japanese teacup fascinates with its elegant water plant motif, the designs flowing naturally across the surface. The green glaze and abstract brushstrokes were characteristic of Yashichida Oribe ware, primarily produced during the Kanei era (1624–1644 CE).

Tsujii Musashi, inspired by nature, infuses his creations with a subtle, rustic charm. The teacup's refined beauty is further enhanced by gohonde—delicate pinkish spots that appear naturally after the firing process.

With its warm, textured feel and lightweight design, it is perfect for everyday tea drinking. Its generous size holds plenty of tea, making it ideal for those who love to linger over their drink. It is sure to add a special touch to your tea time.

Musashi Kiln

Specializing in the creation of Mino ware, Tsujii Musashi established Musashi Kiln in 2006 in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture. While crafting his unique pottery, he also engages in agricultural activities, drawing inspiration for his designs from nature. Elements such as wheat and aquatic plants are incorporated into his patterns. The tableware he creates offers a natural and comfortable sensation, both in its appearance and its texture.

Mino Ware

Mino ware, crafted in Gifu Prefecture's Tono region, is renowned among Japanese pottery for its rich heritage and versatility. It features over fifteen distinct styles, making it more varied than many other Japanese ceramics. 

Now accounting for over 50 percent of Japan's ceramic production, its popularity is unmatched. Designated as a traditional craft in 1978, Mino ware reflects a blend of historical depth and modern relevance, exemplifying exceptional craftsmanship.
