About this Work

"Iriomote-yaki Seiho Kiln" continues to work on Iriomote Island — an island so rich in nature it is called the Galapagos of the East — making pottery from the island's clay and natural materials.
This "sobachoko" cup concentrates a character at once strong and somehow gentle, recalling the beautiful seas and mountains of Iriomote, together with the warmth of a craftsman's hand.
Its moderate thickness settles into the hand, and its plain texture lets you feel the island's abundant air every time you use it. It serves as a dipping cup for soba or udon, of course, and equally as a free cup for tea or coffee, or as a small bowl for dressed dishes, nuts or a dip — a genuinely versatile size.
A cup of real depth, quietly bringing the blue sea and vast natural breath of Iriomote Island to the everyday table.
