101 Painted Karatsu small handle cup A

Sumire Akita's works are delicate, intricate, and somewhat ephemeral, yet they also evoke a romanticism that harks back to the past. They don't merely imitate old Karatsu ware; rather, design elements intertwine with exceptional sensibility, creating a delightful sense of design. The strength of presence felt when looking at a single piece is, upon viewing the collection as a whole, actually consistent throughout, with no contradictions.

Ms. Akita has sent us these adorably sized cups.

Grinding beans, warming the vessel, brewing coffee. Enjoying simple baked goods. I cherish such moments spent at home.

Ms. Akita's pottery is perfect for such occasions. The warm picture-Karatsu coffee cup. It makes the time spent brewing and drinking coffee even more enjoyable.
