Handmade Kyoto Pottery Mug

From a Small Kiln in Kyoto

Dainichi Kiln, located near Kansyuji Temple in Kyoto, is a family-run pottery studio.

Father Shigeo Takemura and his son Yotaro create works that honor the tradition of Kiyomizu-ware while blending naturally into modern life.

Each piece is carefully handmade in their quiet mountain workshop, using natural glazes and traditional techniques.

Traditional Japanese Pottery Mug

A Blue Glaze Inspired by Sky and Sea

The kiln’s signature Hekiyu (blue glaze) series captures the serene beauty of sky and sea within handmade ceramics.

From turquoise to pale aqua and deep indigo, the flowing glaze creates a natural gradient that makes every piece unique.

No two are ever the same—variations in the glaze and the way it catches the light give each item its own character and beauty.

Handmade Kyoto Ceramic Mug

Bringing a Touch of Elegance to the Table

The Hekiyu collection pairs beautifully not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western dishes, highlighting flavors with subtle elegance.

The natural transparency and calm tones of the glaze turn an ordinary table into a special setting, elevating everyday moments.

Practical enough for daily use yet refined enough for gifting, this handmade Kyoto pottery is an ideal choice for both personal enjoyment and thoughtful presents.

A beautiful mug to look at, and wonderfully practical to use.

釉薬の重なり合うカップ底の色合いが写真と違うだろうと思っていましたが、思っている以上に美しいグラデーションを装っておりました。
カップの丸みも手に馴染むお気に入りの一品となりました。

外側は美しいと思いますが、内側の底部分の突然の変化は何をイメージしているのでしょうか?

匿名

藍、青、翠が混ざったような優しいグラデーションの取皿。ツルッとしたコーティングがされていますが、おもてはふちまわりの細かい線は触るとざらりとして陶器そのもの。うらも水滴模様をツルリですが、底から水滴まではざらりとして温かみを感じるました。市販品は全部がツルッとしていますからね。

手に取ると外側のポコっとした水滴のような模様が当たり温かみがあります。料理を食べ終えたら、中心からきらきら色のかけらの世界が現れます。陶器って素晴らしいと初めて感じました。

とてもとても丁寧に梱包されていて、安心いたしました。作品を大切にされているのですね!
