This Shino ware teacup features an impressive, soft sakura-pink hue. The milky-white and pink glaze, with its delicate tonal variations, evokes the gentle atmosphere of springtime, adding a calm touch to your moments of relaxation.

Shino ware is characterized by a citron-skin-like textured surface ("Yuzuhada") created by the natural movement of flames in the kiln. When held in your hands, the cup conveys a comforting sense of weight and the living breath of the artisan. The glaze develops its own unique individuality in both color and expression, offering the vessel a naturally rich character. Furthermore, the tones of the ceramic will gradually deepen with repeated use. This beautiful transformation over time—referred to as "patina" (the grace of aging)—is one of the unique pleasures of living with a fine piece for years to come.

Designed in a standard size that fits comfortably in the hand, this cup is ideal not only for everyday green tea or hojicha but also for serving guests. While suited for any season, it is especially delightful in spring when paired with traditional Japanese sweets. From daily use to a thoughtful gift, it is a piece that gracefully fits a wide range of occasions.
