These paired yunomi cups are particularly ideal as wedding gifts or for commemorating anniversaries. The experience of holding Shino ware, feeling its unique texture, and enjoying tea brings a special sense of peace and relaxation to everyday life. ●Features of Shino Ware● Soft Texture of the Glaze: The most distinctive feature of Shino ware is its white, soft texture achieved through feldspar glaze. During firing, natural patterns and variations in thickness create attractive gradations and unique designs. Warmth of the Clay: Another characteristic is the rustic texture of the clay, offering both a smooth touch and an inherent warmth. This is achieved using high-quality clay from the Mino region, which contributes to its distinctive feel. Straw Ash Decorations: Some Shino ware pieces feature intentional patterns created with straw ash. The natural reddish and orange lines, as seen in the photos, result from a combination of oxidation and reduction reactions during firing. Organic Shapes: Unlike uniform, machine-made items, the subtle distortions unique to handmade works enhance the charm of fufu yunomi (paired tea cups). These variations add comfort and individuality when held in the hand. ●Appeal● Concept of Paired Yunomi: The two cups, differing in size, symbolize the bond and harmony between partners. Using them as a set brings a warm, familial atmosphere to the home. Fusion of Tradition and Modernity: With over 400 years of history, Shino ware is a traditional craft that seamlessly fits into modern Japanese-inspired interiors, highly regarded for its aesthetic versatility. Warm Color Tones: The soft white hues of Shino ware, combined with warm-colored patterns, harmonize beautifully with any tea, providing both visual and sensory enjoyment. ●History● Shino ware originated in the Azuchi-Momoyama period (late 16th century) in the Mino region. As the Way of Tea culture flourished, the demand for tea utensils grew, and Shino ware became beloved for its unique expression. Name Origin: The name “Shino” is said to derive from Shino Soshin, a tea master. Position within Mino Ware: Shino ware is regarded as a high-grade product within Mino ware, cherished by warriors and wealthy merchants alike. Revival: After its decline in the Meiji era, efforts to revive Shino ware began in the 20th century. Today, it is recognized domestically and internationally as a valued traditional craft.
