Inoue Tea Iga Yellow Shigaraki-yaki Yunomi - Japanese Teacup

Shigaraki-yaki 信楽焼 is a renowned type of stoneware crafted in the Shigaraki Town area of Shiga Prefecture, Japan, recognized as one of the “Rokkoyo,” the six oldest kilns in the nation. This unique pottery is distinguished by its thick, fire-resistant clay, showcasing the natural beauty and texture inherent to the material.

Within the rich tradition of Japan's tea ceremony culture, there exists a profound appreciation for the natural state of beauty. As a result, teacups and ceramics are often created from natural, coarse clay, reflecting a blend of ancient techniques and modern aesthetics. This harmony illustrates the ongoing evolution and enduring legacy of these historical kilns.
