Each piece features a soft, egg-shaped silhouette; when stacked, the cups playfully resemble a caterpillar standing upright.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body of the cup offers a distinctive, tactile experience with its textured, grainy surface. Inside, the glaze is crafted primarily from the volcanic sands of the Shirasu Highlands, creating a natural finish that beautifully complements any beverage. The handle is left as unglazed \"yakishime\" stoneware, retaining the raw color of the earth to look as if a small creature is clinging to the side.\u003cbr\u003eIn harmony with nature, both the body and handle are shaped with a relaxed, organic approach rather than forced precision. As a result, each piece possesses a unique character and slight variations in form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvailable in Three Sizes:\u003cbr\u003e- Demi Cup: approx. 80 ml (ideal for espresso)\u003cbr\u003e- Regular Cup: approx. 150 ml\u003cbr\u003e- Mug: approx. 230 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Product History\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eWhen did these crafts start to craft?：400 years ago \/ 1600AD \/ Edo period in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eSatsuma ware traces its origins to the late 16th century, born from a unique cultural exchange between Japan and skilled ceramic artisans from the Korean Peninsula. Under the patronage of the local lords, these master potters established diverse styles that evolved into the refined ceramic tradition celebrated today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo this day, dedicated kilns preserve these ancestral roots, honoring centuries-old techniques—such as the use of natural glazes and traditional wheel-throwing methods—that remain unchanged by time. Since its internationally acclaimed debut at the 1867 Paris World Expo, \"SATSUMA\" has captivated the world with its exquisite beauty, a prestige reaffirmed by major exhibitions at prestigious European museums in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eTsukinomushi: Family-Crafted Ceramics from Kagoshima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the heart of Kagoshima, our family-run brand, \"Tsukinomushi,\" breathes life into clay.\u003cbr\u003eOur work is defined by the exquisite kannyu (crackle glaze) of Shiro-Satsuma (White Satsuma) and the sophisticated, deep textures of Kuro-Satsuma (Black Satsuma).
