Each piece is meticulously crafted using the "press mold" technique, where clay is skillfully shaped by hand. This labor-intensive process creates a unique texture and a distinct handmade charm.

The subtle irregularities and preserved fingerprints showcase the craftsmanship of each cup, ensuring every piece is one of a kind.

The hand-painted Yatsuhashi motif, inspired by the traditional floral gardens of ancient Kyoto, is created by Nagata’s wife, a former artisan of Kyoto’s renowned Yuzen dyeing tradition. Her intricate brushwork in soft indigo hues adds a sense of harmony and understated elegance.

This sake cup exemplifies the best of Kyo-ware, combining beauty and practicality to delight pottery enthusiasts and collectors alike.
