yunomi or teacup by Kouhei Tanaka

A Hagi-yaki yunomi (teacup) by Kouhei Tanaka is a beautifully crafted Japanese ceramic tea cup made in the traditional Hagi-ware style. Hagi-yaki is beloved for its soft, milky glazes that often develop a warm patina and subtle crackle with use, embodying the wabi-sabi appreciation of imperfection and natural change. Tanaka’s yunomi typically features a harmonious form and understated glaze tones, reflecting the quiet elegance and tactile comfort prized in everyday tea culture. Many of his cups are offered with a wooden tomobako box, underscoring their artisanal quality and making them lovely both for daily ritual and as thoughtful gifts. Come with a wooden box.
