Plate L-Blue crystal glaze by Ryuta Takagi (from Ganka-kiln)

A masterpiece by Ryuta Takagi, the master of Iwahana Kiln, a distinguished Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery studio in Kyoto.

The deep, crystal-clear blue evokes the boundless ocean and the endless sky, stirring a sense of serenity and wonder in those who gaze upon it.

Having studied traditional ceramic techniques in Kyoto and further honed his craft in Okinawa, Takagi developed a custom glaze inspired by his experiences, resulting in this extraordinary shade of blue.

The way the color transforms under different lighting conditions gives it an organic, almost living presence, drawing you in with its profound beauty.

This mesmerizing blue, born from the fusion of Kyoto’s rich pottery heritage and Okinawa’s artistic influences, is more than just a color—it is a true work of art.

Each time you hold this piece, its brilliant hue enriches your space, making it a timeless treasure to be cherished for generations.
