【模倣】ー 理想と現実の狭間で、背中を追い続ける ー
宝石（唐物）を夢見ながらも、現実には隣国・瀬戸の背中を追う日々が続きます。
唐物になれぬなら、せめて日本一の瀬戸の技を。
植物の灰が偶然作り出す「灰釉」は、憧れに追いつこうと足掻いた修行時代の証です。
先行く背中を夢見ながら、まだ何者にもなれずに揺れる淡い色は、完璧を知ったがゆえに味わう、未完成の清らかな苦悩そのものです。
【MOHO (The Imitation)】ー Chasing the shadow, caught between ideal and reality ー
Dreaming of exquisite continental treasures (Karamono), days were spent chasing the shadow of the neighboring rival, Seto.
If one could not become a masterpiece, then at least master the techniques of Seto, the finest in Japan.
The Kai-yu (Ash Glaze), accidentally birthed by plant ash, stands as a testament to those apprentice days of struggling to catch up to an aspiration.
Gazing at the back of the leader, the faint, trembling color of a craftsman who has yet to find his identity reflects the pure, unfulfilled agony—a sorrow tasted only by those who truly understand perfection.
灰釉湯呑
理想の背中を追い求め、まだ何者にもなれずに揺れる職人の葛藤を映したかのような、淡く儚い佇まいの灰釉湯呑です。
植物の灰が偶然作り出す「灰釉」は、憧れに追いつこうと足掻いた時代の証。
ぽってりと丸みを帯びた端正なフォルムに、やわらかな自然の色彩が優しく溶け込んでいます。見込は、注いだお茶の色を美しく引き立てる清らかな表情を見せ、器をひっくり返すと、底面には手仕事の温かみを感じさせる丁寧な削り出しと、窯の炎が残したわずかな赤みが息づいています。
やや小ぶりで上品なサイズ感は、お茶を口に運ぶたび、手のひらに心地よいぬくもりと静かな思索の時間をもたらしてくれます。

Ash Glaze Teacup
A refined ash-glazed teacup (Hai-yu) with a faint, fleeting presence—as if reflecting the pure, unfulfilled agony of an artisan chasing an elusive ideal.
Birthed accidentally by plant ash, the traditional ash glaze stands as a testament to the days of striving to catch up to an aspiration.
The gentle, organic hues blend seamlessly into the neatly rounded, comforting form.
The interior remains clean and clear to elegantly complement the color of the poured tea, while the underside reveals meticulous clay-shaving that evokes the warmth of handcraft, along with a subtle, warm flush left behind by the kiln's flames.
With its modest and elegant dimensions, this piece offers a gentle warmth to the hands and a moment of quiet contemplation with every sip.
