This is a straw stripe Sencha cup made by Sekiun kiln.
The lines drawn vertically resemble rows of straw, so it is called "straw stripe pattern." It features a simple design painted with three colors—red, green, and blue—on a soft-colored milky white background.
The straw stripe pattern is a traditional motif that has been fired in the Seto region of Aichi Prefecture since the late Edo period (around 1800). It is still commonly seen in Seto ware and Mino ware today. In Seto and Mino, it is common to alternate thick and thin lines, and the color of the lines varies from kiln to kiln.
This Sencha cup has a slightly curved rim, making it ideal for drinking tea. It is wheel-formed, with the surface shaved and shaped. The bottom shows beautiful trimming marks. Only the bottom is unglazed, giving a tactile feel of the clay.
The fine lines of the straw stripe pattern, interpreted in a Kyoto style, combined with its modest, well-proportioned shape, create a refined atmosphere. It is a handmade cup that reflects Kyoto’s aesthetic sensibilities.
