This is a yakishime Mishima mug, also known as flowing Mishima or flower Mishima pattern, by Takada Garaku, a traditional Kiyomizu-yaki potter.

The artist named the pattern, which is rhythmically stamped on the top and bottom, "Nagare Mishima.
The Mishima pattern is found in the folk kilns of the Korean Peninsula, and was introduced to Japan in the Muromachi period (1336-1573) with the rise of the tea outlet ceremony, along with well bowls.

Even though it is called "Yakijime", the inside and the mouth are covered with glaze for those who do not like the rough feeling.
The slender handle is an original and unusual braid.
This is a particularity of this kiln, and coffee cups and teapots with handles are also made in this shape.
It may look thin and easy to take off, but it is firmly attached and is as strong as a board handle.
It is also easy for the fingers to catch and hold.

The texture of the surface, which is unique to yakijime, will lose its roughness as it is used.
With use, the surface texture becomes less rough and more lustrous like lacquer ware.

The diamond cut of the high base. The diamond cut on the base is a sharp shape that can only be achieved by handwork.
This is a special feature of this kiln that can also be seen on other vessels such as teacups.

The value of this mug lies in the fact that it is made by a single craftsman who handles everything from the soldering iron to the decoration as far as he can see.
Mishima's designs, like Mozart's music, are loved by all. It is also nice that it is not seasonal like cherry blossoms or autumn leaves.
Please try this Mishima mug and feel the taste of handcrafted Kiyomizu ware by skilled craftsmen.
