Also included in Ikai Yuichi's diverse glazing repertoire is celadon.  Called seiji in Japanese, the glaze is characterized by fine cracks (called kanyu) which form beneath a glassy surface while cooling in the kiln.  For these details to develop sufficiently, the most exacting kiln conditions have to be met, thus making seiji one of the most difficult ceramic techniques to master.

Ikai Yuichi is proud to present this lovely set of celadon green tea cups - a testament to his devotion to the seiji technique.  Glassy layers, two or thee layers deep, add a multidimensional quality to the cups and appear illuminated from behind by a powdery blue.

The set is called meioto (his & hers), with one cup formed slightly taller than the other.  For hot or cold green tea or iced tea enjoyed, of course, together.
