Mugs with a distinctive rounded shape

Each mug is carefully crafted by a potter in his studio, giving it the warmth of Hagiyaki pottery.

It is just the right size for drinking a cafe latte with a home coffee maker," said potter Zenemon Sakakura with a smile. It is also easy to use, and will transform your usual coffee into a deeper taste. This Hagiyaki cup with its dignified appearance is glazed with red shale, the original stone of the Akama inkstone, a traditional craft of Yamaguchi Prefecture. The slight shimmer of gold in the jet-black color gives it a lustrous beauty and elegance.

This fusion of Akama inkstone and Hagiyaki was created by the ceramic artist Zenemon Sakakura, who was fascinated by the texture of the Akama inkstone and wanted to reproduce it. The contrast between the jet-black color of the Akama inkstone and the pale white of the inkstone is beautiful, and simply looking at it is a luxury.

It is a piece that elevates the everyday life to a higher level.
