Kurohō 深焙 Cups

Rooted in tradition and shaped by fire, the Kurohō 深焙 Cups capture the soul of Japanese craftsmanship through texture, depth, and quiet beauty. Each cup is shaped from raw ore clay and fired at high temperatures using traditional techniques that leave behind rich, natural markings—subtle reminders of earth, flame, and time.

The glazed surfaces feature organic rust-toned patterns, formed by iron elements in the clay during firing. These natural patch stains are unique to every cup, ensuring no two pieces are ever the same. This is not a flaw—but a signature of handmade authenticity.

The stone-textured finishes are deliberately imperfect, evoking wabi-sabi—the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence. Whether for tea, sake, or quiet moments of reflection, these vessels invite you to slow down and savor the ritual.
