This Hidasuki Bizen ware mug from Hozan Kiln exudes warmth and artistry, showcasing the iconic hidasuki patterns in vivid, reddish-orange streaks that flow elegantly over a soft, sandy clay body. The natural markings are born when rice straw reacts with the clay during the firing process, ensuring each mug is beautifully unique.

The interior reveals a striking red pattern, reminiscent of a bold brushstroke, contrasting gracefully against the lighter clay surface—an unexpected yet mesmerizing detail that invites quiet admiration. The unglazed, smooth texture of the mug allows the natural beauty of Bizen clay to shine, while its perfectly curved handle provides a comfortable and sturdy hold.

Ideal for daily rituals, this piece grows even more captivating with time, as its surface develops a patina that reflects its shared history with you. Whether enjoying tea, coffee, or sake, the Hidasuki mug brings a timeless and tranquil presence to every sip.
