Hagi Nakahara Kunisuke Cup 240 ml

Glazed stoneware

This Hagi cup is by Kunisuke Nakahara. The matte, slightly pink surface features a fine network of natural cracks reminiscent of parched earth. Its form is deliberately simple: softly undulating contours, a slightly recessed foot, and a shape that fits comfortably in the hand, as if it had always belonged there. 

Kunisuke Nakahara is an experienced Hagi potter from the city of Hagi in Yamaguchi. Since 1975, he has dedicated himself to working with the renowned soft Hagi clay and runs the traditional Chinchugama workshop. His studio is located between the historic Shōin Shrine and Tōkō Temple, giving visitors the impression of arriving in a quiet space between past and present.
