Arita’s abundant natural beauty, with its pristine waters and vibrant landscapes, further shaped the creation of this series. The Sabi-yu collection reflects the essence of these surroundings, blending the rich, earthy tones of rust glaze with the delicate translucence of pale blue-tinged porcelain. This harmonious combination captures both the rugged character of Izumiyama and the serene beauty of Arita’s nature.
For Momota, the Sabi-yu series is more than just a collection of ceramics—it is a heartfelt tribute to his childhood, a celebration of Arita’s natural wonders, and an homage to the history and artistry that shaped his craft.
These handmade Japanese ceramics feature a luminous pale blue glaze with a smooth, almost moistened texture that invites touch. Subtle accents of rust-colored glaze create a warm, artistic contrast, making each piece truly unique. The delicate, finely crafted rim sits comfortably against the lips, enhancing the drinking experience. With their round, balanced shapes, these ceramic cups offer the perfect weight, providing a sense of stability in hand.
Whether used as espresso cups, coffee mugs, tea cups, or for serving sake, these versatile ceramics blend elegance with functionality. The collection also includes small plates, ideal as saucers or for serving sweets. Additionally, exclusive matcha bowls are available, offering a sophisticated way to enjoy matcha tea—whether for daily use or traditional tea ceremonies, adding an elegant touch to your rituals.
