Determined to pursue a career in ceramics, he studied under leading figures in the field, including Manji Inoue, a Living National Treasure of Arita ware, and contemporary master craftsmen such as Tomio Kawahara, Shizen Kanmu, Ichigen Terui, and Shigeyoshi Kajiwara.

With a focus on the clay’s malleability, mouthfeel, texture, and ease of use, and guided by the theme of “beauty in utility” that puts the user first, we aim to convey the spirit of handmade and hand-painted craftsmanship… It is with these sentiments that this Japanese tableware was born. It is also highly appreciated as a celebratory gift, suitable for any occasion, making it ideal as a commemorative item for corporate gifts and other presents. It is a prized piece that is also highly valued as a gift for distinguished guests from around the world. ■ The colors produced by kiln changes (yōhen) during firing are characterized by a rich, deep depth of flavor, unlike that of paint. These pieces showcase the variations in glaze flow and coloration, allowing you to appreciate the “beauty of chance.” The colors emerge depending on the kiln’s mood, and subtle changes in firing temperature and humidity alter the hues, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work that can never be replicated. Plum blossoms are depicted on the kiln-variation porcelain surface using matte gold and traditional Arita-yaki pigments. This is a luxurious piece that fuses Arita-yaki tradition with a modern sensibility. ■Plum Blossoms: Enduring the harsh winter and blooming before other plants, plum blossoms are considered a symbol of vitality. They are also revered as an auspicious flower that bestows prosperity of descendants and a long, fulfilling life, and are said to bring good fortune in relationships. This is a traditional, celebratory motif that invites good luck. ■Size: Height 10.2 cm, Diameter 9.5 cm ■Set of 2 ■Material: Porcelain ■Design: Plum Blossom ■Limited Edition: Includes a ceramic history booklet.
