A quiet teacup that reflects the natural breathing of the earth

Ishikawa Hironobu's "Carbonized Yakishime Teacup" is attractive for its deep gradation of black and ash, which is created by slowly baking it in charcoal.
The surface is fired without glaze using only charcoal and flame, leaving the traces of the fire and charcoal as a natural feature, giving each piece a unique appearance.

The rim is softly rounded, and the thickness and weight make it fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.
It has a ruggedness yet a definite gentleness, and you can feel the warmth of the earth from the rim to your fingertips.

When hot water is poured over it, light shines through the subtle shadows on the surface, giving the carbonized surface a moist, lustrous glow.
Over time, the oils from your hands and the color of tea will blend into the leather, and the texture will deepen the more you use it.

Unadorned, quiet, and simply beautiful. This teacup embodies the "true form of pottery" that Ishikawa pursues.
