Matsushiro-yaki Teacup and Teapot - Beloved Blue-Green since the Edo Period
Matsushiro-yaki Teacup and Teapot - Beloved Blue-Green since the Edo Period
A unique "blue" created by chance
The most distinctive feature of Matsushiro-yaki is the "blue glaze" created by its unique glaze. This deep, lustrous blue-green color is born from firing local soil rich in iron and applying two layers of glaze. The glaze melts and drips in the kiln, creating patterns that are never the same twice. You can admire the beauty in your hands, as if the deep mountains of Shinshu and the clear flow of its rivers were captured within.
Functional beauty that blends into daily life
Although a traditional craft, Matsushiro-yaki has a history of supporting the lives of common people as "folk pottery." As such, it feels comfortable and substantial in the hand, and is very robust. It has a reassuring quality that allows it to be used casually every day. The plump, warm form of the teacup gently conveys the warmth of hot tea, and the teapot becomes more familiar with each use.
Enjoying the space, tea time
In a busy daily life, heating water and waiting for the tea leaves to unfurl. The appearance of this Matsushiro-yaki is perfect for such "moments of respite." The simple yet elegant "blue" will surely transform your everyday green tea or hojicha into a special cup. Why not incorporate the beauty nurtured by the climate of Shinshu as a gift for a loved one, or as a tool for self-care in your daily life?
