Mug

By shaping the simple form using a mizugote (wet cloth technique), each piece is crafted with subtle variations, giving it a unique and individual character. This series further refines the concept of our “ground” line.

Mino ware, a major hub for ceramic production, boasts the highest output in Japan—and likely the highest use of clay in the country. What defines “good clay”? What gives clay its value?
We turned our attention to recycled clay. Believing that the time has come to recognize the worth of recycled materials, we developed a concept of “wrapping plant soil with recycled soil” and brought this idea to the tableware world.

In 2022, we introduced a new piece to this concept: our recycled clay mug cup.
