In Yukitaka Hatsuda's \u003cem\u003eanagama\u003c\/em\u003e at Kasatori, wood fires burn for days, ash travels in the heat, and \u003cem\u003eshizen-yu\u003c\/em\u003e - natural glaze - writes itself onto the surface of the clay. No human hand applies the glaze. Only fire decides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsh has covered the entire surface of this \u003cem\u003eguinomi\u003c\/em\u003e, and in melting, has produced a river of \u003cem\u003ebīdoro\u003c\/em\u003e - a vitreous, blue-green glaze - that pools and glows at the base of the cup. Turn it over: the exterior holds this watery light. Then look within - a \u003cem\u003ehiiro\u003c\/em\u003e blazes on the inner wall, flame-red and luminous, a private fire kept inside. This is a piece of rare complexity: cool glass and warm flame, held in the palm of the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYakishime\u003c\/em\u003e ceramics carry no applied glaze: ash from the wood fuel falls directly onto the clay during firing, melting at high temperature to form the surface. Due to the nature of \u003cem\u003eanagama\u003c\/em\u003e kiln firing and coarse clay, minor surface irregularities or slight water seepage may occur. If needed, a thin application of cyanoacrylate (super-glue) to the interior surface resolves this easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 8px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold; width: 35%; color: #555;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e50 x 50 x 50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold; width: 35%; color: #555;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e90 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold; width: 35%; color: #555;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eCeramic - Shigaraki Clay (信楽土)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold; width: 35%; color: #555;\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eYukitaka Hatsuda (初田幸隆)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold; width: 35%; color: #555;\"\u003eShips from\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 4px 8px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eKyoto, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"Yukitaka Hatsuda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47677273505897,"sku":"KAkL-HATS_025","price":130.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/1600\/2665\/files\/A-12_2.jpg?v=1781251975","url":"https:\/\/www.lifewithkogei.jp\/en\/products\/coupe-a-sake-guinomi-yakishime-terre-de-shigaraki-a-12","provider":"Life with Kogei","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
