Crafted by Hozan Kiln, this Bizen ware mug embodies the essence of understated beauty and rugged elegance. The sangiri streaks, formed by the natural interaction of rice straw during firing, create soft, organic patterns across the dark clay body—each one distinct to your mug. Inside the cup, intricate, abstract markings emerge like brushstrokes on a canvas, adding a mesmerizing depth to its design. These unique patterns are a result of the natural firing process, making each piece a singular work of art. Its unglazed, raw surface enhances the earthy character, while the reddish-brown tones are complemented by natural ash and subtle gradients from the kiln. The sturdy handle offers a comfortable grip, making it a timeless companion for tea, coffee, or even sake. Over time, its surface will evolve with a rich patina, telling the story of shared moments and quiet rituals.
