Rahou Cup -Earth-

Kazuya’s Rahou Cup Series
Through his signature Rahou (螺法) spiral technique, Kazuya harnesses the rhythm of the potter’s wheel to sculpt vessels that radiate both tension and grace. The dynamic, spiraling form reflects a deep connection to natural movement—like layers of rock shaped over time or ripples in still water—offering a meditative sense of flow and structure.

Rich in traditional Bizen methods, this series captures the mysterious beauty of minerals formed in the earth’s depths. Vivid textures and subtle tones arise from the interplay of fire, ash, and clay, creating surfaces that shimmer with geological complexity.

Celebrated as one of Kazuya’s most iconic and sought-after works, the Rahou Cup Series stands as a testament to the artist’s mastery of form, technique, and vision. Each piece is not only a functional object, but a quiet homage to the power of earth, fire, and human touch.
