Handmade Kyoto Pottery Mug

From a Small Kiln in Kyoto

Dainichi Kiln, located near Kansyuji Temple in Kyoto, is a family-run workshop dedicated to handmade pottery.

Father Shigeo Takemura and his son Yotaro create pieces that honor the tradition of Kiyomizu-ware while blending seamlessly into modern life.

Natural glazes and careful craftsmanship define their work, with each piece lovingly made one at a time in their quiet mountain studio.

Traditional Japanese Pottery Mug

A Blue Glaze Inspired by Sky and Sea

The kiln’s signature Hekiyu (blue glaze) series captures the brilliance of the sky and sea in ceramic form.

From vibrant turquoise to pale aqua and deep indigo, the flowing glaze creates a natural gradient unique to each mug.

Every piece is handmade, with subtle variations in the glaze and color ensuring that no two are ever alike.

The appearance shifts beautifully depending on the light and angle, offering a sense of living artistry.

Handcrafted Kyoto Ceramic Mug

A Touch of Elegance at the Table

The Hekiyu glaze pairs beautifully not only with Japanese cuisine but also with Western dishes, making it versatile for any setting.

The soft transparency and calm tones highlight food and drink naturally, transforming everyday moments into something special.

Practical enough for daily use, yet refined enough for gifting, this handmade Kyoto pottery brings tradition and elegance to the modern table.
