The Harmony of Nature and Craft

A One-of-a-Kind Tenmoku Masterpiece

In a serene studio nestled in the northern countryside of Kyoto, Japanese ceramic artist Yoshinori Izumi quietly devotes himself to the creation of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery.

Each piece is crafted using Izumi’s unique glaze techniques, resulting in a truly one-of-a-kind expression of beauty and tradition.

No two pieces are ever alike—subtle variations in glaze composition and kiln temperature create spontaneous and organic patterns, making every item a singular encounter.

Made from carefully selected clay and traditional Japanese glazes, the surface of each piece reveals captivating gradients and textures that change with the light.

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening drink or hosting guests, this handmade sake cup offers an ever-evolving beauty with each use.

Its remarkable depth of color and unique finish reflect the decades of experience and artistic curiosity that define Izumi’s work.

Owner's Comment

Each Tenmoku sake cup reveals its own distinct expression. It’s a piece that truly captures the spirit of traditional Japanese pottery.

The vibrant colors are drawn out naturally by the glaze and will not fade or deteriorate over time—this is beauty that endures.
