UZANYOU〉TRANSLUCENT SERIES CUP
The Uzan kiln has inherited the traditional techniques of Shigaraki but while keeping the traditions alive, the Uzanyou workshop proposes ceramics that incorporate the Japanese concept of « Yo-no-bi » where functionality (Yo) is combined beauty (Bi) to meet the needs today's lifestyles. Constantly searching for innovation and new sensitivities in their work, Uzanyou’s goal is to create vessels that continue to grow with their users and that have the capacity of gently illuminating the objects placed in them.
PURE WHITE TRANSLUCENCY - A REVOLUTIONARY
NEW POTTERY STYLE FROM SHIGARAKI
A minimalistic cup design in pure white made from a revolutionary combination of optical fiber and pottery soil from Shigaraki.
The pure white Shigaraki cups are characterized by their light, translucent texture and a gentle white color that goes well with different beverages such as tea, coffee, beer or Japanese shochu.
The translucent Shigaraki ceramics are not made of conventional light-permeable porcelain but a particular blend of clay and optical fiber.
A revolutionary new ceramic style developed at the Shigaraki Ceramic Research Institute in 2009 that has opened a new chapter in the long history of Shigaraki pottery.
Mainly made from optical fiber its light transmittance is 2.5~3 times higher than that of porcelain, allowing the light to pass through even thicker textures.
