Rahou Cup -Milky White-

Kazuya's Rahou series. Through his distinctive rahou (螺法) spiraling technique, Kazuya takes advantage of the spinning potter's wheel to impart a sense of grace and power to his Bizen Art pieces. The milky coloring—achieved without the use of additional glaze —provides softness and warmth to the traditional reddish-brown coloring of the piece.

This cup exhibits the rustic charm of Bizen Art with its uneven and unglazed surface. The surface of a Bizen Art tableware piece will become smoother as it is used, encouraging one to contemplate how a piece of art attains new beauty when incorporated into daily life.

This piece can be used as both a cup and as a small vase.
