A handmade cup from Emui (笑無為) by ceramic artist Emi Nakagawa.
Trained in Kyoto in the tradition of Kiyomizu-yaki — a historic style of Kyoto ceramics — she works with clay sourced from Shigaraki, Shiga, known for its warm, natural texture.

Unlike a standard cup, this goblet features a gently raised stem that brings a sense of lightness and quiet elegance.
While the bowl rests comfortably in the hand, the elevated form creates a refined presence on the table.

Balanced and stable despite its delicate silhouette, it offers both visual grace and reassuring steadiness.

Perfect for coffee, herbal tea, sencha, or even a small pour of wine — a versatile piece that transforms an everyday drink into a slightly more special moment.

The base is stamped with the YUNOMI mark.
Subtle yet distinctive, this discreet signature adds a quiet sense of exclusivity to each piece.

Presented in a paulownia wooden box, it also makes a thoughtful and refined gift.
