About this Work

This beautiful soup cup blends the tradition of Shigaraki ware with a unique, contemporary design.

The delicate, countless "shinogi" (ridges) patterns are meticulously carved one by one by hand, adding character to the entire vessel.

This generously sized cup is perfect for a large serving of soup, and also ideal for enjoying a large volume of coffee or other beverages. While simple in shape, the shinogi pattern covering its entire surface is sure to add a touch of elegance to your dining table.

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 to cherish.

Artisan Story

手作業で一つ一つ丁寧に彫られた「しのぎ」模様が特徴的です。「しのぎ」模様は、リズミカルで躍動感があり、器に豊かな表情を与えています。祖父から受け継いだ伝統的な窯で作陶しており、信楽焼の伝統を受け継ぎながら、しのぎという独自の特徴を入れています。

「しのぎ（鎬）」は、もともと日本刀の刀身にある山高くなった筋を指す言葉で、陶芸では、ヘラやカンナを使って表面を削り落とし、連続した縦の削り目（しのぎ文）をつけたデザイン技法です。

リム皿、スープカップ、カレー皿、湯呑み、マグカップなど様々な器（うつわ）を制作され、"しのぎ"模様で、食卓を揃えることで、華やかな印象を食卓に与えることができます。
