HANDMADE JAPANESE TEACUP | USUZUMI SAKURA | TOUSEN KILN 陶泉窯
£42.00Experience the quiet elegance of Kyoto craftsmanship with this Handmade Japanese Usuzumi Sakura Gozan Yunomi Tea Cup, expertly crafted by Tousen Kiln in Kyoto, Japan. Inspired by the legendary Usuzumi Sakura, one of Japan's most celebrated cherry blossom trees, this handcrafted yunomi features a soft grey glaze adorned with delicate hand-painted sakura, capturing the tranquil beauty of spring in traditional Japanese ceramics.
Founded in the early Meiji era, Tousen Kiln began as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler before establishing its own kiln to create handcrafted ceramics. Drawing on the traditional clay and glazes of Kyoto's Kiyomizu Ware (Kyo-yaki), each piece reflects generations of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship while embracing refined, contemporary design.
The gently contoured form sits comfortably in the hand, making it ideal for enjoying green tea, sencha, hojicha, genmaicha or your favourite loose-leaf tea. Individually handcrafted and hand-finished, every cup features subtle variations in glaze and decoration that celebrate the authentic character of Japanese pottery.
Elegant enough for everyday tea rituals yet refined enough for special occasions, this yunomi brings the timeless beauty of Kyoto and Japan's cherry blossom tradition into your home.
