#38 Ayano Hitotsumatsu (170ml)

Handcrafted by ceramic artist Ayano Hitotsumatsu, this washizome kyusu expresses the subtle beauty of Japanese paper-dyeing techniques through a refined contemporary form. Using handmade paper as a stencil, pigments are carefully absorbed into the clay, creating soft transitions, layered textures, and organic patterns unique to each vessel. The interaction between mineral tones and the natural surface of the clay gives the kyusu a quiet depth shaped by the irregularities of the handmade process. Both artistic and functional, the piece reflects Hitotsumatsu’s modern interpretation of Tokoname craftsmanship while preserving the warmth and tactile quality of traditional tea ware. Designed for everyday brewing, this kyusu brings a calm and contemplative presence to the tea experience.
