The Calico mug, resembling an abstract painting, is covered with patches of underglazes like bengara and gosu. A layer of ash glaze is applied on top, allowing the underglaze paints to flow naturally, forming picturesque scenes. Additionally, the surface of the glaze has a fine crack pattern "kannyu" that adds depth to the work.

Crafted By

Sho Kumamoto
Working alongside with his father in Akamizugama, Sho Kumamoto has now started to make earthenware using local Karatsu clay and traditional glazes. His approach is marked by a desire to break free from preconceived frameworks and rules, choosing instead to experiment with whatever captures his imagination. This mindset, he believes, mirrors the capricious nature of cats.
