Featuring the iconic Seigaiha (wave crest) motif in deep indigo, this pattern symbolizes harmony, prosperity, and enduring tranquility in Japanese culture.

Elevating its uniqueness, the goblet’s surface is adorned with translucent crystal perforations, creating a delicate interplay of light and shadow.

This masterful technique highlights the artisan’s skill in merging texture, transparency, and form.

Gracefully perched on an elegantly curved stem, this goblet embodies the timeless beauty of Hasami ware, a tradition spanning over 400 years. Designed for both aesthetic pleasure and functionality, it transforms every pour into a moment of quiet sophistication and appreciation.

Tanshingama

Founded in 1980, Tanshingama is a renowned Hasami ware kiln specializing in Suisho-bori. Established by artisan Nagasaki Jō, the kiln emerged from a lineage of pottery craftsmanship, refining the traditional Hotaru-yaki technique into a uniquely transparent, radiant effect now recognized as Suisho-bori, or 'crystal carving,' for its luminous and transparent qualities.

Each Tanshingama piece is meticulously hand-carved, filled, and twice-fired at high temperatures, ensuring a distinctive interplay of light and form. This dedication to precision and innovation has cemented the kiln’s reputation for excellence.

For over 40 years, Tanshingama has upheld the Suisho-bori tradition while adapting it for contemporary lifestyles.
