The studio name jiucasca is taken from that rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a long dry season the rain soaks into the ground drop by drop and brings it back to life; Maeda Asami put into the name the wish that a piece of pottery does the same for a table. Every line is drawn by hand in itchin \u0026mdash; slip squeezed from a dropper \u0026mdash; which is why the pattern comes out as fine as lacework. A jiucasca piece sits at the edge of the table and brings a graceful moment to an ordinary day: not simply tableware, but a small work of art made by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery line is drawn by hand, so no two pieces carry quite the same pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/maeda-asami\"\u003eSee everything by Maeda Asami\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kyoto nokaze Global","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45774665777238,"sku":null,"price":20570.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9473\/4678\/files\/973dee84779c621bbbf0e4e51b3744a5.png?v=1790926447","url":"https:\/\/global.kyoto-nokaze.com\/products\/set-ash-blue-botanical-6","provider":"Kyoto nokaze Global","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
