Kenichi Nakajima, who is making pottery in Akita Prefecture. It is important to "make things that are simple, easy to use, and can be used for a long time."
The inspiration for his works is not only old pottery and modern folk art, but also down sweaters and bicycles that he has been using for more than 10 years. By incorporating these good qualities with a unique sense, we can complete a vessel that the user wants to grow old with.
Pale blue and pretty Itchin pattern
The glaze is mixed with ash that can be taken from a wood stove, and the natural glaze tone of wood ash is utilized. Gosu's blue color is not too strong and has a gentle atmosphere.
Surrounding the cup is a pattern of grass and trees applied with Itchin's technique. I feel the loveliness of the plump texture.
*Itchin: A technique of drawing lines and patterns using an eyedropper.
Easy-to-grip handle with elaborate design
Mr. Nakajima is a creator who places great importance on ease of use. The center of the handle is recessed so that your thumb is stable and easy to lift. The handle has a large presence, but the overall balance is well maintained.
The mouthfeel is neither too thin nor too thick, and has a thickness that gives a pleasant mouthfeel. It is basically used as a set with the saucer, but depending on your mood, you can use it separately like a cup and a confectionery plate. It's a way to enjoy it because the cup itself is carefully made.
The taste is neither too thin nor too thick. The texture is very good.
The saucer has a flowing expression in the center. lift the cup.
