Karatsu ware | Naoki Kojima | Korean Karatsu sake cup [one-of-a-kind item]

Kojima's Korean Karatsu ware is extremely popular. Korean Karatsu ware is a technique used by potters who came to Karatsu from the Korean Peninsula, and eventually came to be called "Korean Karatsu". It is characterized by the application of black candy glaze (iron-based black glaze) and straw ash glaze (opaque white glaze), which creates a beautiful contrast between black and white. The "bleeding" of the mixed parts, and the blue and yellow scenery that appears at the borders are also highlights. The fineness of this bleeding is one of the reasons for its popularity. The inside is white, so the color of the sake stands out, making it a feast for the eyes. The more you use the sake vessel, the more it will change and become more flavorful. Please enjoy the process of it nurturing and changing.
