Usurai, Refinement Born in Kyoto

In Kyoto, a city with a long tradition of refined ceramics, Usurai Pottery finds its voice.
Drawing on the heritage of Shigaraki, one of Japan’s ancient pottery centers, Taichi Kawai brings a contemporary sensibility to time-honored methods.

The clean lines and subtle forms are rooted in tradition, yet feel unmistakably modern.
Each piece carries the quiet signature of kannyū (貫入), or ceramic crazing, not only as a mere decoration but as atmosphere, where clay and glaze meet light and evolve with use.

Light, Texture, and Time

From a shared sake set to a quiet moment with a tea mug, Usurai’s soft glazes and pottery crazing bring light, texture, and calm to the table.

Featured Focus

When Stillness Takes Shape

Can a bowl ask you to pause? Can a cup hold a moment of beauty?

That is exactly what Usurai was made for.
As Kawai-san says, "I want people to stop for a while and admire the beauty."
From softly curved ceramic bowls to reflective handmade mugs and balanced sake cups, every piece is crafted to awaken awareness; to light, texture, and quiet feeling.

This is not decorative ceramics. It is Japanese pottery created with presence in mind shaped slowly, finished with care, and designed to be felt as much as seen.
