Madara Karatsu Kawakujira
Like Korean Karatsu, we use the rare clay that our ancestors used about 400 years ago, the clay from the old Imari kiln, Fujinokawachi. A distinctive feature of Kawakujira is the black rim around the mouth rim. The origin of ``Kawakujira'' is that the black edge of the mouth rim is likened to the skin of a whale (the back), and the white of the body of the vessel is likened to the body (belly) of a whale. The black candy glaze on the rim of the mouth rim gently flows, resembling Korean Karatsu, which is one of the highlights. The more you use it, the more flavorful the color becomes.
