Sohrye Kiln celadon flying plane s-cup 01

All-purpose cups by Sohgama [M KYOTO's order], a fusion of Kyoto and Fukuoka technologies.

The brand "Souchigama," which has a studio and gallery on Higashioji-dori in Higashiyama, Kyoto, was established by Wakunamisoryu, who grew up as the fourth generation of a Kyo-yaki celadon potter, and Madoka Wakunamisoryu, who grew up in Fukuoka, where Koishiwara potteries have been in existence for 14 generations. They produce mainly everyday useable dishes by combining celadon porcelain and folk art, traditional techniques inherited from their respective regions. In this issue, we pick up recommended Tobikanna cups for use in various occasions, such as snack time and breakfast!

1.Celadon glazed cup with a beautiful series of shavings

[One of the representative works of Sohryu Kiln is the "celadon hibikanna" series, in which celadon vessels are decorated with hibikanna. The cups are carved by Madoka using a tool made from the spring of an old clock, and a series of planes called tobiganna are made. The cups, with their delicate plane carving on the sides and clear blue, white, and navy blue glazes that blend together, provide a peaceful setting for coffee time.

2.Easy to use as a dessert cup or small bowl

Tobikanna cups are available in three colors: celadon, white porcelain, and kakebun dark blue. They can be used not only for coffee and tea, but also for breakfast dishes such as yolk glutinous rice and sosai, and can be used for both Japanese and Western dishes. All three colors go well with Souzai, and they make a nice picture just by being placed side by side.

Tobi Plane Cup S is also great for dessert cups such as ice cream. Just serve ice cream in this elegant cup and top it with a large sweet potato or dried fruit!

3.Handiwork brings a wonderful time to the table.

Even a casual cup of coffee can taste even better just by changing the cup. Also, just drinking coffee or tea in your favorite cup at the beginning of the day or when you want to take a break can lift your spirits. Because cups are the most frequently used utensils in our daily lives, we hope that you will choose cups that you will cherish and use. The delicate shimmering effect created by their handiwork is similar to the beauty felt in nature, and it creates a comfortable moment for you. Whether for daily use or for guests, these cups will gently add color to your daily life.

4.I want to use it every day! Cute size that fits comfortably in your hand.

The size fits in both hands, and the cute, rounded shape of the Tobikanna cup S. The pattern of the Tobikanna on the side of the cup touches your hand, so you can feel the warmth of the handwork every time you use it. There are two sizes available, and an L size with the same design.
