Hagi ware mug · Gold & platinum · 10th-generation Zenemon Sakakura

01 Gold or platinum powder hand-painted over the glazed surface, then fired a second time — a delicate metallic film fused with the ceramic body.
02 Natural kannyu crackling, visible brushstrokes, and tonal variation — no two mugs are exactly alike.
03 The uncoated base reveals raw ceramic texture — an intentional contrast to the luminous metallic surface above.

Metal and clay, fused by fire
This handmade Hagi ware mug is the work of 10th-generation artisan Zenemon Sakakura. Finished with gold or platinum powder hand-painted over the glazed surface, the mug catches and reflects light from every angle — even in dim settings.

Each mug is individually handcrafted using traditional Japanese pottery techniques. After glazing, gold or platinum powder is applied by hand. A second firing burns off the resin, leaving a delicate metallic film fused with the ceramic body — a signature of this process.

Natural kannyu (crackling) adds subtle texture and character, while visible brushstrokes and tonal variation make each mug distinctly its own. The base is left uncoated to highlight the raw ceramic texture, offering an elegant contrast to the luminous surface above.
