The elegance of celadon porcelain and the generosity of folk art [ordered by M KYOTO].

The brand "Souchigama," which has a studio and gallery on Higashioji-dori in Higashiyama, Kyoto, was established by Mr. Wakunamisoryu, who grew up as the fourth generation of a Kyo-yaki celadon ware potter, and his wife Madoka, who grew up in Fukuoka, where Koishiwara ware has been produced for 14 generations. The brand combines celadon porcelain and folk craft, traditional techniques inherited from each region, and focuses on ceramics that are easy to use in everyday life. The Tobi Plane Cup L introduced here is a recommended cup that can be used for various occasions, such as snack time and breakfast.

1.Painting a new view on a celadon cup with a flying plane

[The representative works of Sohryu Kiln are the "celadon hibikanna" series, in which celadon vessels are decorated with hibikanna. Madoka uses a tool made from the spring of an old clock to create a series of planes on the cups made by Soju, called tobiganna. The glaze collects in the grooves, and the shading of the glaze creates a pattern, which is attractive in that it shows a different expression for each scene of use. The cups with the delicate flying plane patterns carved on the sides and the clear blue, white, and dark blue glazes blend together to create an elegant look just by pouring tea into them.

2.Versatile cup that can be used from morning to night

Tobikanna cups are available in three colors: celadon, white porcelain, and kakebun dark blue. It can be used for both Japanese and Western dishes, such as coffee and tea, milk for breakfast, and beer for dinner, so it will be useful as a staple item that comes in handy frequently. The standard for celadon porcelain is to wrap the base of the cup with a light brown veni, but for the Kakemitsu navy blue cup, the veni is wrapped horizontally to create a graceful design that blends well with Western-style dishes such as bread for breakfast. It holds 300 ml of water when full, making it easy to use as a beer cup or shochu (distilled spirit) cup.
