Tokeido has kept the traditional Bizen pottery-making techniques that originated in the Heian Era (roughly a 1000-year period beginning in 794 AD). The traditional approach excludes glazing and utilizes a 2-week-long firing process relying solely on red pine as fuel. The clay is dug up from the soil of the rice fields in the nearby area. The Tokeido kiln has been passed down within Kimura family for 18 generations. This pottery is made by the Kimura family- one of the original \"Six Families\" who were exclusively permitted to create Bizen style pottery in the Muromachi Era by the master of Tea Ceremony (or local lord). Furthermore, the Kimura family has been a purveyor to the Imperial Household Ministry, and the Ceremonial Agency. At JKI, we carry art pieces by Tozan Kimura (the 17th generation) as well as work by his son, Hideaki Kimura (the 18th generation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe handpicked pieces that exhibit a beautiful natural ash glaze. The gradual color differences are a function of the placement of each pieces within the kiln- determined by their distance to from and exposure to the fire. You can also see the shadows from other pieces surrounding it. As such, each piece is unique and features one-of-a-kind patterns and colors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOT DISHWASHER SAFE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*The photos are indicative of the general look of these, but, as there are many samples, there may be a slight variation from product to product\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee Cup and Saucer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokeido Kiln\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup Top Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup Bottom Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaucer Top Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaucer Bottom Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaucer Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaucer Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tokeido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40822943744061,"sku":"CFFEECPPLTSTROUNDNO6","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A6538.png?v=1700499010","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/coffee-cup-and-saucer-set-round-shape","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
