The Design Philosophy of QUTOTEN

This yunomi tea cup was created based on the design philosophy of QUTOTEN.

Like punctuation marks that create rhythm and breathing space in writing, the concept reflects a wish to introduce quiet pauses into everyday life.

The punctuation-inspired logo is carefully stamped on the bottom of the cup as a symbol of this idea.

Rather than relying on decorative elements, the design emphasizes form and function.

A handmade Japanese ceramic cup that blends naturally into both traditional and modern spaces.

Fired by a Traditional Kyoto Kiln

This piece is produced by Touan Kiln, located near Sennyu-ji Temple in Kyoto, Japan.

Founded in 1922, the kiln continues the traditional craftsmanship of Kyoto pottery and Kiyomizu-ware.

Fired at high temperatures, the ceramic cup is durable, resistant to staining, and well suited for everyday use.

Combined with its undecorated surface, the appearance remains stable and beautiful even after years of use.

For Everyday Moments

Perfect for tea, but also ideal for hot water, coffee, or other warm drinks.

The simple form blends naturally into everyday dining and daily routines.

Using several together creates a relaxed and balanced table setting.

A practical handmade Kyoto pottery cup that also makes a thoughtful gift.
