Nagashi Mug
金銀流し泡立ちカップShigemichi selected a unique type of hardened black clay called 'Kurotsuchi' from Shigaraki, one of Japan's oldest pottery-producing regions. In contrast to Shigemichi's other works in metallic gold and silver, he opted to experiment with three new colors for this piece, including unofu (white), blue, and Bordeaux red, imparting these mugs with a creative and playful sensibility.
With its sturdy handle and generously proportioned form, the mug brings an inviting, everyday ease to Shigemichi's artistry, its playful nagashi colors flowing freely over the deep black kurotsuchi clay. Ample enough for a full pour of coffee, tea, or beer, it is a vessel made for unhurried moments — as comfortable in the hand as it is striking on the table.
