Crafted at Hinomigama in the storied kiln town of Shigaraki, this mug brings together two distinct glazing traditions in a single, quietly compelling form. Kohiki, a technique originating in Korean ceramic culture and later adopted by Japanese potters, involves applying white slip over a clay body, creating a surface that appears at once veiled and luminous. Here, that foundational layer is animated by vidro glaze, a wood ash-derived glass glaze that introduces soft tones of sage and celadon, trailing in uneven vertical paths along the ribbed exterior. The coarse Shigaraki clay asserts itself beneath, its iron-rich warmth surfacing through the glaze where the firing has drawn the two into dialogue. Flared gently at the rim and grounded at the base, the form carries a composure that reflects Shigaraki's 1,200 year ceramic heritage with precision and restraint.
