Kurinuki is a Japanese technique of carving pieces from a block of clay rather than throwing them on a wheel. The result is that each piece is completely unique and has an organic, primitive appearance.
In keeping with the Wabi Sabi Japanese philosophy on can embrace the imperfections that exist in nature and in life.
 
Sencha teacups are typically used for tea and espresso but can be used for any hot drink for enjoyment and ceremony.
