Nightingale -UGUISU- Fujirin Ichijo

◯ About UGUISU Fujirin Ichiyo

"Hohokekyo"
The Japanese bush warbler is also known by other names such as the spring herald bird, the flower-viewing bird, the songbird, and the sutra-reading bird.
If you listen carefully to their cries, you will be amazed at their beauty.
⁡
This bird, which often appears in the Kokin Wakashū (Collection of Poems), has supported Japan's elegant culture since ancient times through its sounds.
Following the example of their crystal clear cries, I would like the tools we use to drink water to have the same dignified "transparency."
———With this idea in mind, "UGUISU" was conceived.
⁡
Surprisingly, there are not many ceramics suitable for drinking cold things.
⁡
When we think of cups or glasses, we imagine something made of glass, and when we think of teacups, we think of ceramic cups for drinking hot things.
I think that cups and sake cups are tools for drinking alcohol, like sake cups.
⁡
A unique ceramic vessel for cold drinks.
It was born here and now.

"Fujiurin" is fired with "crystalline glaze", a specialty of the potter Touan, which gives each piece a unique scale pattern.
A gorgeous crystalline pattern resembling wisteria petals emerges, giving the piece an elegant and mysterious sense of depth.

Only God knows what it will look like.
———Spontaneous beauty with infinite possibilities that humans cannot control. ⁡
