Hours at the wheel, seasons at the kiln—shokunin is practice made visible. A cup carries the rhythm of repeated motions and the calm focus of the maker.

Iron‑rich clay from the Chita Peninsula, shaped without glaze and fired to a warm red. Tokoname teapots have softened tea for more than nine centuries.

An elegance that hints rather than shows: a shadow in a brush mark, the depth of a muted glaze. Yūgen invites the eye to wander and imagine what is left unsaid.

The hush after the kiln cools, the pause before the first sip. In seijaku, a vessel holds space for quiet attention.
