Ōborisōma-yaki Cup

Made in the style of Ōborisōma-yaki, this cup is designed to enrich modern interior spaces with the centuries old tradition of Ōborisōma ceramics. Ōborisōma-yaki vessels are characterized by their distinct appearance achieved with a glassy blue glaze created from local stones and the cracked patterns that naturally form during firing.

There might be slight differences as each piece is handmade.

Tōhoku

Tōhoku consists of six prefectures located in the north-east of Honshu island. This region is known for its hot spring (onsen) resorts, colourful festivals, remote sacred mountains and harsh winters. In 2011, the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the region hard; however, the massive efforts in reconstruction are proof of the people’s resilience. Urushi (lacquer) ware, ironware and the crafting of kokeshi dolls make up but a few of the local industries in this lesser-visited region of Japan.
