Teacup -"銀星"Ginsei by Yoshinori Izumi

Endless Exploration of Glazes

In a quiet countryside studio in northern Kyoto, Mr. Izumi has dedicated over fifty years to researching ceramic glazes. Subtle changes in firing temperature and mineral composition create infinite variations—no two pieces are ever the same. Each handmade vessel carries his experience, curiosity, and the spirit of traditional Japanese pottery.

Colors Inspired by Nature

The pottery reflects the calm tones of Kyoto’s natural landscapes. Gentle gradations formed by glaze and fire create a soothing presence, inviting a moment of peace at your table. Since every ceramic piece has a slightly different expression, each use reveals a new charm to discover.
