〈UZANYOU〉TRANSLUCENT SERIES MUG
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.
A MUG WITH UNIQUE LIGHT TRANSPARENCY
FOR A VARIETY OF OCCASIONS
A beautifully designed mug characterized by a light, translucent texture and a gentle white color of unique appeal.
The mug, created in collaboration with former Louis Vuitton designer ARTHUR LEITNER has a simple yet unique shape with a lens-like structure that is straight on the outside and curved on the inside.
The Shigaraki translucent series is not made of conventional light-permeable porcelain but a particular blend of clay and optical fiber that allows light to pass through.
A new 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 light to pass through even thicker textures.
