MIRAKUGAMA
Description
MIMATA 三俣
Triangular with a straight side, MIMATA is almost a cut-away of an earth: there’s the smooth dark brown mantle with a hint of caramel crust and gold topsoil. Faint, root-like forays of pale yellow gray drip from the edge. Suitable for gyokuro. Absolutely gorgeous with houjicha or koucha (japanese black tea).
Limited edition: only 50 available
Capacity: 65ml / 2.19oz
About the Kujū Renzan Cup Collection
Home to some of Japan’s most famous mountains and a mix of steaming volcanic peaks and wildflower-studded ridges, the Kujū Renzan’s earthly mountain beauty is captured in six unique cups.
Specially made for IKKYU by Mirakugama, these teacups are a marriage of the ancient sprawl of Kyushus’ famous mountain range and the 16-generations of Takatori potters.
Born at the base of mount Takatori in the early 1600s, Takatori ware uses the unusual soil of Kyushu to produce paper-thin stoneware coveted for tea ceremony. The Kamei family at Mirakugama has used the same clay for generations. They refer to their clay as 門外不出 , mongaifushutsu, a treasured item kept behind closed doors.
The natural variation and ash glaze used by Mirakugama capture a natural essence that is both warm and elegant. We present six small mountain vistas that encompass the mellow-rich layers of earth, billowing clouds of hazy smoke, and raw autumn slopes that make up “the roof of Kyushu.”
