Because each piece is handmade, some pieces may be warped or stiff. Some pieces may also have chips, but if these are kiln marks that occur during firing, we inspect them and treat them as good products.

This work can also be seen at wanova's secret gallery in Roppongi, Tokyo.
If you would like to see the actual piece at the gallery, please contact us to plan your visit.

A refined five-piece set of Kumidashi (traditional tea cups), showcasing the signature soft, earthy warmth of Hagiyaki ware coated in a translucent, misty white glaze. The surface features a delicate scattering of fine iron specks that lend organic depth, while a faint crimson blush along the rims gently frames each piece.

The true character of this set lies in the dynamic movement of the glaze around the lower body and foot. Applied with a spirited hand, the viscous white glaze cascades toward the base, leaving deliberate runs and unglazed areas (tsuchimese) that expose the rich, orange-tinted clay beneath. Each cup possesses its own distinct personality, marked by unique firing traces and glaze variations. When held, the cups communicate a comforting, tactile weight, enriching the sensory experience of sharing tea. Housed in an elegantly inscribed traditional wooden box, this set brings an understated ceremonial grace to both formal gatherings and quiet personal rituals.
