Exclusivity Note: Each Maru Komorebi cup is finished by hand, so slight variations in shape, texture, and tone are to be expected and part of its individual charm.

The Maru Komorebi Blue Teacup is functional pottery art shaped for daily rituals.
Its rounded silhouette and deep interior frame a shifting mosaic of blues and greens, inspired by komorebi, the quiet play of light through trees.

Artist Kazuhiro Kojima forms each cup by hand and finishes the piece using the Nanasai Tenmoku glazing technique, layering translucent tones that create depth and subtle movement across the surface. Gentle variations in glaze and form reflect an intentional wabi sabi sensibility.

Made for tea or coffee, it settles naturally into calm mornings or shared conversations.

More Information

Uniquely Handcrafted
Each Maru Komorebi Blue Teacup is shaped by hand by Kazuhiro Kojima, so slight differences in glaze flow, tone, and form naturally appear from cup to cup.
These subtle variations are part of the making process and give each piece its own quiet identity, far from factory-made repetition.
Blue Nanasai Tenmoku with Komorebi Depth
The defining feature of this teacup is its Nanasai Tenmoku (七彩天目) glaze, which layers soft blues and blue-green tones into a surface with depth and gentle movement.
Inspired by komorebi (木漏れ日), the play of light through trees, the glaze creates a calm, shifting effect that feels both luminous and restrained.
Cultural Heritage of the Yunomi
As a yunomi (湯のみ), this cup belongs to the tradition of Japanese everyday teaware shaped for relaxed daily use.
The yunomi is valued for its comfort in the hand and its connection to quiet tea moments, where beauty and function come together naturally.

Maru Komorebi FAQs

Can the Maru Komorebi teacup be used in the microwave or dishwasher?

The microwave is fine for everyday use. The dishwasher is best avoided, as repeated cycles and strong detergents may gradually affect the glaze and surface detail. Gentle handwashing is the better way to preserve its finish over time.

Is Maru Komorebi Blue made for everyday use?

Yes. This cup belongs to the tradition of Japanese daily teaware and is meant to be used, not kept only for display.
Its rounded shape feels comfortable in the hand, while the handcrafted finish brings a quieter, more refined presence to ordinary moments.

What can be served in the Maru Komorebi teacup?

It is ideal for sencha, hojicha, and other brewed teas, but it also works beautifully for coffee or a small pour of liquor.
Its size and rounded form make it easy to enjoy from morning tea to slower moments shared with guests.

What gives Maru Komorebi Blue its distinctive character?

Each piece is shaped by hand by Kazuhiro Kojima, so slight differences in tone, glaze flow, and form naturally appear.
The Nanasai Tenmoku glaze, inspired by komorebi, layers blue and blue-green tones into a surface that feels calm, luminous, and quietly expressive.

Would Maru Komorebi Blue make a thoughtful gift?

Yes. It feels personal, refined, and easy to appreciate.
Because each cup is handcrafted, it carries a quiet individuality that makes it more memorable than an ordinary gift, especially for someone who enjoys Japanese pottery and everyday rituals.

Is Maru Komorebi Blue considered a yunomi (湯のみ)?

Yes. Maru Komorebi Blue is a yunomi (湯のみ), a traditional Japanese teacup used for everyday brewed tea.
The word combines 湯 (yu), meaning “hot water,” and 飲み (nomi), meaning “drinking.” It is designed for relaxed daily use rather than formal tea ceremony.

Do you ship to the USA and Europe, and is insurance included?
