Created by the accomplished ceramic artist Ōshio Shōzan (大塩昭山).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkahada-yaki (赤膚焼) is a traditional pottery style originating in Nara Prefecture, with roots tracing back to the Momoyama period (late 16th century). The craft flourished under the patronage of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and later gained recognition as one of Nara’s representative ceramic traditions. Known for its warm, milky-white glaze and hand-painted Nara-e (奈良絵) designs—depicting scenes from folklore, landscapes, or playful figures—Akahada-yaki blends rustic charm with refined artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ōshio family kiln has long been one of the central producers of Akahada-yaki, preserving its characteristic light clay body and gentle glaze while continuing to explore modern expressions of this historic craft. Each piece, such as this chawan, reflects a deep connection to Nara’s cultural and aesthetic heritage—where simplicity, elegance, and hand-painted storytelling converge in the tea ceremony tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 9 x 9 x 6cm (Cup)\u003cbr\u003e11 x 9 x 21cm (Box)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55916003459403,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_dcd58568-e287-46e0-b4bc-ba5dafc842e4.jpg?v=1763288309","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/products\/tb114-yunomi-tea-cup-set-by-oshio-shozan-akahada-yaki-%e8%b5%a4%e8%86%9a%e7%84%bc","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
