Yoshiyuki Okinawa Black Clay Yunomi
$100.00
Yoshiyuki Shimizu is not only a master potter - but also an astute student of traditional Japanese clay and glazing techniques. His passion for traveling Japan’s countryside in search of unique clay brought him to the shores of Okinawa - where he discovered the deep black glaze composed of volcanic ash. This unique glaze combined with a 4 day wood firing creates a deep, expressive, and powerfully evocative finish.
These large format tea cups are in essence small chawan. They can be used for a morning cup of Sencha, an afternoon houjicha or you can gently whisk a small portion of Matcha in them. Crafted for a lifetime of use, these rustic and charming vessels are a unique way to bring master craftsmanship into your daily practice.
These are handmade works and variance is expected from piece to piece. We did our best to capture the character of the collection in the images. Each yunomi is sold individually.
