Painted entirely by hand, this cup carries the mark of a practiced brush — the pattern applied one piece at a time, each stroke placed by feel as much as memory.
Shinji Akane forms and paints each cup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a cup that carries the marks of its making — never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character.
Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table.
- Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker.
- Material: Japanese pottery (ceramic)
- Made in Japan
- Artisan: Shinji Akane
Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in pattern and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.

Shinji Akane
Shinji Akane works in Gifu, in glazes that carry weight and quiet — bowls, plates, and cups where the surface shifts from shadow to light. Each piece is formed and glazed by hand.
・Handmade — One by One
Every piece from Japan Classic is formed and fired entirely by hand, in small quantities, one at a time.
These handcrafted works carry slight variations in shape, weight, and surface, bearing the subtle marks of true craftsmanship rather than mass production.
・Living Glaze
On glazed pieces, you will find fine crackle patterns—known in Japan as kannyu (貫入)—naturally created as the glaze cools after firing.
This delicate finish evolves with time, reflecting the quiet beauty found in wabi-sabi ceramics.
・Elegance
Inspired by Japan’s timeless aesthetic, every piece by Japan Classic blends tradition with modern versatility.
Whether for rice, soups, or shared plates, these refined tablewares are designed for everyday beauty, maintaining their grace in both Eastern and Western settings.
