Traditional Kyo Yaki (Kyoto Style)
Made by Yoshinobu Kawashima in Kawashima Kiln

This teacup is a modern expression of an ancient Japanese design technique. The traditional design and the artisan's excellent expressive techniques are harmonized on the surface of the teacup to bring out the best.

TANSAI means light color, and MISHIMA means stamped flower pattern. The light blue base is stamped with a flower pattern and finished with a lovely, generous Shino glaze. The flower pattern stamp technique, in which a curling flower pattern is embedded, is a traditional MISHIMA technique that has been expressed for more than 400 years. The gold stripes between the MISHIMA flower stamps evoke a sense of luxury. The contrast between powerful and refined design is well balanced and enhances the uniqueness of each.

On the inside of the Yunomi teacup, linear marks drawn with a brush are faintly expressed with white glaze. This white brushstroke technique, called HAKEME in Japanese, is quite beautiful.

The slightly thicker, heavier finish, which is unusual for Kyo Yaki, also helps to keep the tea warm. The light blue color of the teacup's surface and its slightly thicker form harmonize with each other to give this Kyoto-style Shino teacup a gorgeous and generous feeling.

We promise that this TANSAI MISHIMA teacup, with its modern design and traditional Japanese techniques, will make your tea time more profound.

Specially packaged in a carton box.
