From a Small Kiln That Creates Handmade Vessels
Dainichi Kiln is located near Kansyuji Temple in Kyoto.
The vessels made by Yotaro Takemura together with his father, Shigeo Takemura, stay close to the traditions of Kiyomizu-ware while fitting naturally into modern life.
Using glazes that make the most of natural materials and careful handwork, each piece is made one by one in a quiet, mountain-side workshop.

A Blue Gradation Like Reflections of the Sky and Sea
The representative “Ao (Blue) Glaze” series is known for its clear, vivid blue that feels as if it captures the sky or the sea.
Based on turquoise, the glaze flows and blends from pale light blue to deep indigo.
Each piece is finished entirely by hand, and the way the glaze blurs and the colors emerge differs from one to another—no two are ever exactly the same.
It is a beautiful vessel whose expression changes depending on the light and the viewing angle.

A Touch of Something Special for Your Table
Ao-glaze vessels pair well not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western dishes.
The transparency and quiet presence of the vessel itself gently enhance the food, turning your everyday table into something a little more special.
Comfortable to use, as if it softly relaxes your mind each time. Recommended not only for your own home, but also as a gift.

とても丁寧な包装でびっくりしたと同時に大変相手様も喜んでいました。
大好きなコーヒーん楽しんでもらえたら嬉しいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
桃色の振出しと一緒に購入させていただきました。比較するとほんの少し縦長で、並べるとより可愛らしいです。爽やかな若草色も綺麗です。大切に使わせていただきます。
優しいピンクのグラデーションとコロンとした丸みが果実のようで美しいです。普段のお稽古など、日常的に使わせていただきます。ありがとうございました。
竹村陽太郎さんの作品2点目です。
やはり素敵な作品です。
この度はレビューをお寄せいただき、誠にありがとうございます。
再び竹村陽太郎の作品をお選びいただき、大変嬉しく存じます。
今回のお品もご愛用いただけましたら幸いです。今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
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。
Love it. It’ll make the perfect Christmas gift for my husband! It’s beautiful
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?
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!
ありがとうございました。

Owner’s Comment
Beautiful just to look at, but also excellent in everyday usability.
With its straight silhouette and easy-to-hold handle, this is a very practical and comfortable mug to use.
