Description

The name of this cup, 'shinogi', refers to a pattern similar to the lines called "Shinogi" found on Japanese swords. Even though it is made in clay, this cup was designed in the image of the white porcelain of the Joseon Dynasty.

Handmade by potter master Ishii san at the Yoshi Hisagama kiln in Karatsu, this cup follows the “80-20” principle celebrated in Japan: any pottery is 80% the creation of the potter master, and 20% how its owner uses it.

With each brew, the clay of this cup will absorb a little bit of the tea poured inside it. The color will gradually change over time, making each and single cup a truly unique piece – almost a living, organic creation.
