From a Small Kiln in Kyoto
Dainichi Kiln, located near Kansyuji Temple in Kyoto, is a small family-run pottery workshop.
Father Shigeo Takemura and his son Yotaro create pieces that stay close to the Kiyomizu-ware tradition while blending naturally into modern life.
Each item is crafted with natural glazes and careful handwork, made one by one in their quiet mountain studio.

A Blue Glaze Inspired by Sky and Sea
The kiln’s signature Hekiyu (blue glaze) series captures the serene beauty of the sky and sea.
From turquoise to pale aqua and deep indigo, the flowing glaze creates a natural gradient unique to each mug.
Since every piece is handmade, variations in glaze and color ensure that no two are ever alike.
The appearance changes with light and angle, offering the charm of living, traditional Japanese ceramic artistry.

A Touch of Elegance for the Table
The Hekiyu glaze harmonizes beautifully with both Japanese and Western cuisine, making it versatile for any dining style.
Its calm transparency and depth highlight food and drink gently, turning everyday dining into a more refined experience.
Perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift, this handmade Kyoto pottery piece combines traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance.

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。
