Yukiko’s Signature Black Karatsu

Inspired by fragments of old Karatsu ware, Yukiko has long pursued her own expression of black.
From matte finishes to lustrous sheens, with subtle hues of purple or hints of green,
each piece holds a depth of character that reveals itself over time.

With every use, the surface softens and matures,
allowing you to experience the quiet beauty of Black Karatsu as it evolves.

*As each piece is entirely handmade, variations in size, shape, glaze application, and color may occur and may differ from the photographs shown.

*We recommend preparing the vessel before use:
soak it in warm water for hot dishes or in cold water for chilled dishes.

*The glaze is sensitive to acidic ingredients such as vinegar;
during the initial period of use, avoid prolonged contact with such foods.

*At first, you may notice a pale, powdery surface;
with repeated use and absorption of water,
it will gradually deepen into a rich, lustrous black.
