Hello! This is Taki from the Uchiru Editorial Department, a pottery market that you can enjoy at home.
In Okinawa, pottery is called "Yachimun." Yachimun is fired using Okinawan water, soil, and firewood, and coral and sugarcane ash are also used for the glaze.
The paintings are characterized by dynamic brushstrokes and range from simple ones that give you a feeling of the warmth of the earth to colorful designs. One of its charms is its plump thickness, and within its beauty there is also a sense of relief.
How about a mug that makes you feel the open tropical breeze while you are at home?
This time I would like to introduce Uchiru's recommended Yachimun mug.
A traditional painting series that has been loved since ancient times and has a beautiful world view

This mug is made by Komagata, a pottery artist with beautiful brush strokes.
Among the Yachimun patterns in Okinawa, this arabesque pattern is said to be the most common.
The pattern is said to be auspicious as it represents eternity, longevity, and the prosperity of descendants, as it is a plant with strong vitality and uninterrupted growth of ivy.
Coffee cup Deigo pottery mug Yachimun
It is mug's work that has a traditional and Okinawan pattern, but also has the lovely texture of Scandinavian vintage tableware.
A mug depicting Deigo, which is Okinawa's prefectural flower and one of the three major flowers of Ryukyu, along with hibiscus and bougainvillea.
The flower language of Deigo is "love", "life force", and "vitality". This flower blooms during the urizun season (early summer) and often appears in Okinawan island songs.
Coffee cup Getto pottery mug Yachimun
This coffee cup is decorated with Getto, which has been popular as a medicinal herb in Okinawa since ancient times.
This is also Mug's work, and gives you the feel of a vintage Scandinavian cup with a Yachimun feel.
The moon peach produces rare flowers that are cute and pretty like hanging lanterns. The language of flowers is "refreshing love." As the word suggests, moon peach leaves have a refreshing scent.

This is a work by Nan Togama that gives you a sense of security and makes you feel the warmth of the clay.
A mug with a line pattern that looks like earthenware. I feel a sense of romance that brings me back to ancient times. The linear patterns look like the veins of a plant leaf, and the more you look at it, the more you discover new things.
Unique Yachimun series with uniqueness added to Yachimun

The mug, which has a warm amber border that looks like a glossy amber color, is the work of Dekotsu Seisakusho.
The roughly thick lines are also casual and adorable, and the way the lines flow diagonally instead of straight gives it a really stylish feel.
There is also a calm and chic gray border in different colors.
If the amber border is warm, this gray has a slightly cool and sophisticated look.
The size of the slightly larger handle and its curve are exquisite compared to the generously sized cup.

These are motifs that will make your tea time even more enjoyable and invite you to a relaxing and relaxing time. Although it has a great impact, the motif is soft and gentle, so children will love it.
In addition to the cat that smiles and stares at you, there are also owls, cats and fish, stars, moons, and banyans in Donotane's mugs.

Dots seem to be a modern and cute pattern, but Yachimun's dots are a traditional pattern called dotting.
