Kairagi Plum Blossom Skin

Kairagi is a very particular Japanese ceramic technique that evokes the Wabi-sabi philosophy, which is expressed here by the beauty of an imperfection or incompleteness in the production process of the ceramic.

Tea masters of the past appreciated this beauty like a landscape and found an exceptional charm in the resulting, always unique motif.

These spectacular pieces have a warmth and texture that can never be expressed through mass production.

Due to the uneven structure of the clay, each piece looks different, and the color irregularities and appearance of the shrunken pattern also vary from piece to piece. Kairagi is characterized by the appearance of a shrunken shark-skin-like pattern from the glaze that has not completely melted during firing, and the appearance of the pattern can often vary considerably from ceramic to ceramic. to the other. Naturally, no two Kairagi pieces feature the same pattern. Each piece is unique and has its own character, so you will feel even more attached to it.

The charm of Kairagi also lies in its elegant and noble ivory white color. It has a simple, dignified presence, and yet it blends seamlessly into any stylish kitchen.
