for daily use, it is also something you can quietly enjoy for its changing expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only when you use it, but even when it is simply sitting on a table, it subtly changes the atmosphere of the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to incorporate into everyday life, yet somehow able to refresh your mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis series represents one contemporary expression of Kyoto pottery, where playfulness and handcraft are balanced in a comfortable way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cimg

It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Yudei” series is created using a unique technique in which layers of glaze are sprayed on with an airbrush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach layer softly overlaps and blends at the boundaries, creating gentle gradations that cannot be achieved with a brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sense of depth in the colors, impossible to express with a single tone, is unique to this technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreating color itself as a form of “expression” is the core concept of this

Expression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe “Yudei” series is produced using techniques that allow the intended layering and shading of colors to be reproduced with stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough each piece is made according to the same design and process, slight differences appear in how the glazes overlap and blur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall impression remains consistent, yet if you look closely, each piece has its own small, unique character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese quiet
