This is Hotaru-te — a technique originating in Ming dynasty China (1368–1644) in which an openwork base is filled with transparent glaze and fired, allowing light to pass through the surface. Hotaru means \"firefly\" in Japanese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.9; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.75); margin: 0 0 16px;\"\u003eHiroshi Taruta works from his studio in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture — a city long celebrated for its pottery tradition, Seto-yaki. While most Hotaru-te works use small round openings, Taruta works with linear slits instead. This approach is considerably more demanding, but the quality of light it produces — soft, directional, filtering like cloud-broken sunlight — is unlike anything the conventional form yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.9; color: rgba(2,9,18,0.75); margin: 0 0 32px;\"\u003eThis cup and saucer set comes in two forms: a wide-mouthed, low-profile cup suited to tea, and a narrower, taller cup for coffee. Each is thrown on the wheel, incised by hand, and fired with transparent glaze filling the cuts.
