Gagyu Kiln Coffee Cup - Egret Design

Sale price¥33,900

A coffee cup with an egret painted in flowing brushwork.

A Craft Decided in a Moment
On the dark brown clay, milky-white hakeme (brush-stroke) marks are drawn in flowing lines. Just the right amount of slip is swept onto the turning clay in one quick motion — a craftsman’s skill in which everything is decided in a single moment.

Scenes from the Craftsman’s Brush
Imagine the many scenes drawn from the tip of the craftsman’s brush. It would also make a delightful special gift.

Why a Paulownia Box
Paulownia wood is light, resists moisture and insects, and moves with changes in humidity — which is why it has been used in Japan for centuries to store what is valuable. A piece delivered in a paulownia box arrives ready to give, and the box itself is part of the gift.

Gagyu Yokoishi

The 15th-generation Gagyu Yokoishi (Gagyu Kiln) is the only kiln that preserves the tradition of hakeme brushwork. The kiln was founded in 1602. Following Nonomura Ninsei, regarded as the founder of Kyoto ware, it became so widely known that it was called the "Ninsei of Kyushu." Designated an Intangible Cultural Property of Nagasaki Prefecture, the kiln creates works that harmonize earthy forms with delicate ornamentation, vessels that fit naturally into contemporary life.
