A mug of Bizen-ware made of traditional materials and production methods. A traditional technique called “hidasuki” is applied, which involves burning the cups by wrapping them with straw. When lining up the cups inside the climbing kiln, they are enclosed with bricks and placed far away from the fire, as to leave some parts of the texture pale and to create one-and-only color and pattern produced at parts where the wrapped straw burned, which are truly aesthetically pleasing.

*The size, color, and pattern of hidasuki may differ among the cups. We kindly ask for your understanding.
