Akae Hosogaki Komon Senchawan

An exquisite, handmade and hand-painted Kutaniyaki teacup from Hōgaku Kōbō.

The traditional Japanese geometric patterns and plum blossom are hand-painted with stunning detail using the so-called Aka-e technique. Aka-e is one of the three major techniques used in Kutani ware. The artist creates patterns with extremely fine lines, as thin as a hair, using a red pigment known as bengara, which contains iron.

Pieces primarily produced in the Kaga region are referred to as "Kaga Akae" and are distinguished by their rich, deep red lines.

They say the long, freezing, and colorless winters of the Hokuriku region made locals crave colors and thus, Kutaniyaki, the traditional ceramic style of the region was born. Kutaniyaki is using vivid and bold colors, making their style unmistakable.

The cup comes in a paper gift box.

Place of origin: Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan
