The surface feels architectural yet restrained, tactile without excess. Unlike decorative carving, the diamond cut is disciplined and functional, improving grip while maintaining a calm, modern presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFired using traditional Banko methods, the clay develops a deep, muted tone with natural variation across the facets. No glaze is used, the character comes entirely from clay, form, and firing. The interiors are smooth and refined, making them especially well-suited for daily tea drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 80ml, these yunomi are ideal for sencha, gyokuro, or high-quality black tea in small pours. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiln: Banko-yaki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: Mori Iroku IV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity: approx. 80ml each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuantity: 1 matching pair (2 cups)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Unglazed, hand-carved diamond-cut texture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artisanal Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44781136838771,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/2286\/4755\/files\/JapaneseYunomiTeaCups_MoriIrokuIV_Banko-yakiTeacupPair_80ml.png?v=1776147673","url":"https:\/\/artisanaljapan.com\/products\/yunomi-teacup-handmade-banko-yaki-pair-mori-iroku-iv-80ml","provider":"Artisanal Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
