Matsushiro ware is a traditional craft of Nagano Prefecture, preserving traditional materials and techniques from over 200 years ago. Its distinctive feature is the “blue flowing glaze” created when the glaze applied to the rim melts and flows in the kiln, resulting in unique patterns on each piece despite having the same shape. The Matsui Kiln, which manufactured these pieces, uses hot spring water in the glaze, creating coffee cups and teacups with a soft color palette.
