Ichirinsei, Hekisai Crystal Glaze, Iwakagama, Ryuta Takagi

A turquoise blue piece by Ryuta Takagi.

The deep, clear blue color gently stirs the hearts of those who see it, as if it were capturing the vast ocean and crystal clear sky.

Takagi learned traditional techniques in Kyoto and trained in Okinawa, and the glaze he mixed based on the inspiration he gained there produced this unique blue color.

The blue color, which changes expression depending on the amount of light, seems to be alive with nature and has a deep charm.

Born from the fusion of Kyoto ware tradition and Okinawan culture, this blue is more than just a color; it has a special presence as a work of art.

The beautiful blue color brightens up the space every time you pick it up, making it a piece that will be loved for all time.

Shop owner's comment : This is a typical Kiyomizu-yaki teacup, carefully crafted down to the smallest detail. It has a simple design that never gets old, and a very traditional feel to it. It's also a great gift for people who are particular about tableware.
