Feldspar Kumidashi - Yoshiyuki Shimizu


Handcrafted by potter Yoshiyuki Shimizu in Dōsenbō, Kyoto, this kumidashi tea cup features a feldspar-rich glaze with soft, milky tones and subtle variations in color and texture. The gentle, organic surface reveals the natural interplay of clay, minerals, and fire, reflecting Shimizu's sensitivity to materials and his appreciation for understated beauty.

Particularly well suited for enjoying houjicha, this bowl-like cup's gently open form allows the roasted tea's warm, aromatic character to unfold. Its balanced proportions rest comfortably in the hands, while the soft tones of the feldspar glaze provide a beautiful contrast to the deep amber color of the tea. Each piece possesses a distinct character, bringing warmth and quiet refinement to the everyday ritual of tea.

Yoshiyuki Shimizu

Yoshiyuki Shimizu (born 1966) is a master potter and tea roaster based in the Dōsenbō district of Minami-Yamashiro Village, Kyoto Prefecture. Shimizu’s ceramic practice is deeply rooted in the raw, elemental materials of his locale: he uses local clays, ash from his own firewood as glaze, and designs his kilns to explore the unpredictable beauty of fire and form. He is also celebrated for his unique approach to roasting houjicha - crafting each batch by hand, slowly roasted over a clay pan. Utilizing local Dōsenbō tea, like his pottery, his houjicha reflects the place he calls home

An unwavering commitment to quality.
