The Harmony of Nature and Craft

A One-of-a-Kind Celadon Masterpiece

From a quiet workshop nestled in the countryside of northern Kyoto, Japanese ceramic artist Yoshinori Izumi continues the tradition of handmade Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware with serene dedication.

Utilizing his own original glazing techniques, Izumi creates celadon pieces with a singular beauty that cannot be replicated.

Each piece is unique, its expression shaped by subtle shifts in temperature and composition during firing—a true one-of-a-kind work of art born from nature and tradition.

Crafted from carefully selected clay and glaze, the cup reveals a mesmerizing gradient and depth of color. Each use brings a new visual discovery and a quiet sense of wonder.

Its distinctive surface texture and delicate hues are a direct result of the artist’s decades of experience and spirit of exploration—embodying the essence of Japanese ceramic artistry.

Owner's Comment

The surface resembles delicate cracks in ice, creating an intricate and captivating finish that reveals new details each time you look.

The colors emerge naturally from the glaze and will not fade or deteriorate over time—this is the true beauty of traditional Japanese pottery.

Each cup is presented in a wooden box signed by the artist, making it a thoughtful gift for someone special.
