Exclusivity Note: Each Komorebi teacup is shaped and finished entirely by hand in small batches, with subtle variations that make every piece one of a kind.

The Komorebi Yunomi Teacup Set brings fine ceramic artistry into everyday life.

Handcrafted by master potter Kazuhiro Kojima, each yunomi is finished with the nanasai tenmoku glazing technique, creating depth, contrast, and gentle highlights that shift as the cup moves through the light.

The softly rounded form, the subtle rim variation, and the layered glaze surface reflect a quiet wabi sabi sensibility, so each cup remains slightly different and clearly apart from mass-produced ware.

Enjoy it for daily teas such as sencha, hojicha, or koucha, and just as easily for a comforting cup of coffee.

More Information

One-of-a-Kind, Guaranteed Uniqueness
Each Komorebi Yunomi Teacup is shaped and decorated entirely by hand, one cup at a time.
Because every step is guided by the maker rather than a mold, no two pieces will ever align perfectly. Subtle differences in silhouette, rim line, and glaze movement appear naturally through shaping and firing, giving the Komorebi Yunomi a quiet wabi sabi presence and a character that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Unique, Artistic Decoration
The decoration is not simply applied on the surface. Using the Nanasai Tenmoku glazing technique, Kojima-san builds depth through careful layering and fine accents. The finish becomes a refined, tactile glaze landscape that feels unmistakably artisanal in the hand and reveals new nuance as the cup turns in the light.
Cultural Heritage of Komorebi
The name Komorebi draws from 木漏れ日, the Japanese word for sunlight filtering through leaves.
This familiar yet poetic idea is central to Japanese aesthetics, where small shifts of light and shadow are treasured as part of everyday beauty.
As a yunomi (湯呑), the Komorebi teacup carries that sensibility into daily tea, a form made for real use, calm routines, and quiet hospitality.

Care Guide

About your Komorebi Yunomi Teacup Set
Komorebi is a set of handcrafted ceramic teacups, made with an artisan’s care yet designed for everyday tea moments.

With gentle handling, their blue surfaces will remain clear and luminous over time.

Maintenance

Avoid Heat and Appliances: Do not use the oven, microwave, or dishwasher, as heat, steam, and strong detergents can affect the handmade finish and delicate decoration.
Handwash Gently: Clean with warm water, a mild non-abrasive detergent, and a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
Dry and Store Carefully: Dry with a soft cloth after washing, then store thoughtfully to prevent knocks along the rims and keep the decoration crisp.

The Artist

Kazuhiro Kojima

Location: Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, Japan
Technique: Nanasai Tenmoku
Tradition: Kyoto ware / Shigaraki ware

Born in 1972, Kazuhiro Kojima is a Japanese ceramic artist and son of Taro Kojima, founder of Nunobiki Kiln. Growing up surrounded by clay, fire, and his father's restless experimentation, the kiln was never a distant place. It was home.

After completing his studies at art college, he returned to Nunobiki and trained alongside his father, gradually developing a visual language distinctly his own. His signature subject is the owl, rendered using the Nanasai Tenmoku technique across a range of scales, from monumental ceramic statues to small, intimate accessories.

His pieces have been placed in hospitals, public institutions, and streetscapes, chosen for the sense of calm and quiet warmth they carry.

You can choose mass-produced cups that are perfectly uniform and easy to forget, or you can reach for teacups made by a real Japanese artisan, the kind that genuinely feels different. That choice is personal.
In a quiet way, it reminds you that your tea, your coffee, and the small pauses in your day deserve care, because you deserve care, too.

A Thoughtful Piece from Japan

A Present That Speaks Without Saying Much

When you want a gift to feel genuinely worthy, the Komorebi Yunomi teacup set offers more than something simply beautiful.

Made in Japan through a slow, attentive process, these four cups carry the touch of the maker in every step, and that care is easy to feel in the hand, on the table, and in the calm mood they create.

Their size suits tea or coffee and encourages a quiet pause that feels personal.
The komorebi motif adds a soft, refined presence, like shifting light across a still surface.

Because each cup is finished by hand, the glaze and tone vary slightly from one to the next. That natural variation is part of their wabi sabi beauty, not a flaw.

What makes this set a meaningful present is that it never feels generic. It reads as intentionally chosen, feels special the moment it is held, and leaves a warm impression when shared.
Most of all, it quietly tells the recipient they were truly considered.

Cultural Notes

The Yunomi Teacup, A Japanese Daily Classic

The Komorebi cups are yunomi (湯呑), traditional Japanese teacups created for everyday brewed tea.

The name explains their purpose clearly. It combines 湯 (yu), meaning “hot water,” with 呑 (nomi), meaning “to drink,” a straightforward description that reflects how naturally yunomi fit into daily meals.

Without a handle, yunomi are meant to be held directly in the hand, so the warmth of the drink gently carries through the ceramic.

They are commonly used for familiar loose-leaf teas such as sencha and hōjicha, enjoyed as part of normal routines.

They are different from a matcha bowl, or chawan (茶碗), which is wider and shaped specifically for whisking powdered matcha in the formal tea ceremony.

Making of Japanese pottery (landscape). Tsukushi

The Komorebi yunomi is handmade in Japan with a clear priority on quality and honest workmanship. Materials are chosen with care, the glaze is applied and adjusted by hand, and each piece is fired with close attention to the final surface.
The process is slow by nature, and it is carried out under fair working conditions with a responsible, ethical approach to making.

Komorebi Yunomi Set Q&A

Can the Komorebi Yunomi teacups go in the microwave or dishwasher?

Yes, they can be used in the microwave but we suggest avoiding the dishwasher, as harsh detergents and frequent machine washing may gradually dull the glaze.

For better long-term care, clean them by hand with mild soap and dry them softly after use.

Are the Komorebi teacups only for special occasions, or can they be used every day?

They are made for daily use, not just display.
With simple, mindful handling, the cups will remain comfortable and beautiful over time. And the small, natural signs of regular use can deepen their character, adding a quiet charm rather than diminishing them.

Is the Komorebi Yunomi teacup set a good gift choice?

Yes.
Because the teacups are handmade, the set feels intentional and personal rather than generic.
The design has a calm, refined presence without feeling overly formal, which makes it easy to give for birthdays, housewarmings, or as a meaningful thank you when you want the gesture to feel truly considered.

What makes the Komorebi cups feel different from an ordinary teacup?

They are shaped as yunomi, so the experience is more immediate and comforting in the hand.

With no handle, the cups sit naturally in the hand, with a balanced weight and a smooth rim that makes sipping effortless.
The form is intentionally simple, so attention stays on the warmth of the drink, its aroma, and the quiet pause the cup invites.

Are the Komorebi Yunomi teacups suitable for coffee and other drinks?

Yes. They are wonderful for coffee, herbal infusions, water, and other warm beverages, not only brewed tea.

Just avoid sharp temperature changes, for example pouring very hot liquid into a cup that has been chilled, since sudden shifts can put stress on the ceramic.

How are the Komorebi Yunomi teacups different from factory-made cups?

These teacups are made by hand, not produced for perfect sameness.
Because each cup is shaped and finished individually, small variations naturally appear from one to the next.

Subtle shifts in form and glaze movement are part of their character, a visible sign of real workmanship where lasting quality matters more than strict uniformity.

Do you ship to USA, and will my Komorebi yunomi teacups include tracking and insurance?

Yes. We ship to the USA, Europe, and many other destinations worldwide.

Each order is packed carefully in house, sent with a tracking number, and covered by full insurance.
As soon as your package is dispatched, we share the tracking details so you can follow the delivery from start to finish.

Featured Focus

Komorebi, The Calm of Shifting Light

木漏れ日 (komorebi), The Gentle Play of Sun and Leaves

In Japanese, komorebi is written as 木漏れ日, a word reserved for a very particular kind of light, the soft brightness that slips through leaves and branches, then shifts as the air moves. It captures a moment that is calm and temporary, the kind you notice only when you slow down.

The meaning is built into the characters themselves. 木 (ko) is “tree,” 漏れ (more) suggests “filtering through,” and 日 (bi) points to “sun” or “day.”
Together, they describe sunlight finding its way between leaves, not as a dramatic beam, but as a quiet pattern that changes from instant to instant.

This sensibility lives in the Komorebi cup set. In the hand, the glaze and surface feel like a gentle scene rather than a flat finish, encouraging a slower sip and a more attentive pause at the table.
