Karatsu ware | Naoki Kojima | Korean Karatsu teacup (large)

Korean Karatsu refers to the technique of potters who came to Karatsu from the Korean Peninsula, and over time it came to be called "Korean Karatsu." Its feature is that it is a combination of black candy glaze (ferrous black glaze) and straw ash glaze (cloudy white glaze), and the beautiful contrast between black and white is attractive, as well as the "bleeding" and boundaries where they blend together. The subtle scenery of blue and yellow that is created is also one of the highlights. How about a teacup with the dynamic movement of clay that is unique to Karatsu ware and the soft texture that can only be achieved with earthenware, giving a sense of warmth to your everyday dining table? Part of the fun is seeing the texture change as you use it. It can also be used to mix shochu with water or hot water.
