■ Product Features

• The beauty of white Satsuma (crazing)

  The most distinctive feature of white Satsuma is the fine crack-like pattern known as "kannyu" that spreads across the ivory surface. This delicate pattern, engraved into the transparent glaze, creates a sense of depth depending on the light.

• Gorgeous hand-drawn patterns

  The chrysanthemum, a symbol of autumn in Japan, and other flowers are depicted in vivid colors and with great detail. The elegant use of colors, including gold, gives the piece an appearance worthy of being called the "Lady of Satsuma."

• "With lid" to enjoy the aroma of tea

  The lid not only keeps the tea at its temperature, but also locks in the rich aroma of the tea leaves.It is perfect for entertaining guests as well as for everyday luxury.

■ History and tradition

Satsuma ware was developed under the protection of the Shimazu clan, based on techniques introduced from Korea during the reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. You can experience the history of "SATSUMA," which was once highly praised at the Paris World Exposition and captivated royalty and aristocrats from around the world, with your own hands.
