About this Work

This beautiful sake cup, which can also be used as a small bowl, features exquisite shinogi (fluting) that blends the tradition of Shigaraki ware with unique modern design.

The numerous delicately carved shinogi patterns are individually etched by hand, adding color to the entire vessel. Its size makes it ideal for serving side dishes as a small bowl or for special occasions as a sake cup.

Due to its handmade nature, there are individual differences in color and carving. With continued use, it will develop a deeper luster and unique character, making it a one-of-a-kind item.

Artisan Story

The "shinogi" pattern, meticulously carved by hand, is a distinctive feature. The "shinogi" pattern is rhythmic and dynamic, giving the pottery a rich expression. The artist creates pottery in a traditional kiln inherited from their grandfather, preserving the Shigaraki ware tradition while incorporating the unique shinogi characteristic.

"Shinogi" originally refers to the raised ridge on a Japanese sword blade. In pottery, it is a design technique where a spatula or plane is used to shave off the surface, creating continuous vertical削り目 (shinogi marks).

The artist creates various pieces such as rimmed plates, soup cups, curry plates, teacups, and mugs. By coordinating your dining table with "shinogi" patterns, you can create a splendid impression.
