Like being wrapped in a veil of mist, "fog" possesses a soft expression and an ethereal atmosphere. Its quiet, elegant appearance calms your mind each time you hold it.
My encounter with "fog" happened when I visited the atelier of Sakuzan Kiln in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. Sakuzan Kiln, with its concept of "beauty from deliciousness," pursues beauty and usability suitable for each vessel, using 14 types of clay and over 100 glaze colors. Attracted by the colorful glazes and beautiful designs, I made an audacious request to collaborate on creating special everyday tableware. Despite this request, they kindly created 7 items: plates in 3 sizes, bowls in 3 sizes, and a mug, hoping they could be used in various settings.
The beauty that evokes natural scenes and exotic landscapes gently blends into any dining table, enhancing the charm of your food and adding richness and warmth to your daily life.
fog MUG
A mug that plays an active role in various scenes of your day, 365 days a year. This cup, which I hold every day, is an indispensable part of my life.
At the start of a busy morning, a generous cup of coffee or cafe latte. Its moderate size keeps the warmth well, allowing me to relax even on hectic mornings.
On my days off, I sometimes use it as a soup cup. It's sized to hold plenty of soup or milk tea, and the warmth gently spreads through my body.
In the evening, I enjoy a relaxing time with herbal tea or hot chocolate to soothe the day's fatigue. This cup, which fits perfectly in my hand, gently embraces those peaceful moments.
From morning to night, this mug, always by my side, gently supports my daily life.

Notes
Each piece is handcrafted, cherishing the natural texture of the earthenware.
Therefore, the appearance of each item, such as how the glaze is applied, is unique.
We hope you enjoy the diverse character of each vessel.
*Crazing (thin lines) and glaze crystallization may be present. If immersed in water or hot water, discoloration may occur; this is a characteristic of the glaze and does not affect the quality.
Handling Precautions
・When using for the first time, always wash with water or lukewarm water.
・"Medome" (pre-treatment) can help prevent food colors from seeping in.
・After use, remove dirt promptly and store after drying thoroughly.
・When stacking, place a sheet of tissue paper between items to prevent scratches.
・Avoid using abrasive cleaners, detergents with abrasives, scouring powder, metal scrubbers, etc., as vigorous scrubbing may scratch the surface. Please wash with a soft sponge.
