Stylist's personal items and a teacup from Toi Ceramics with Ken Kagami. Nice work.

TOWA CERAMICS, a tableware brand by eri, owner of "dept.", created a teacup with stylist Koichiro Yamamoto's "stylist's personal effects" and contemporary artist Ken Kagami. The production was done by Maruhiro, a Hasamiyaki ceramics manufacturer. This special collaboration of four of the hottest designers of the moment will be released at the start of the year 2020.

As you can see, this teacup has a unique character or two. The project began with a comment from Koichiro Yamamoto, who said, "I am embarrassed to put my finger through the hole in a mug. The project began with a comment from Koichiro Yamamoto, who said, "It's embarrassing to put my finger through the hole in the mug. He supervised the project himself and asked his close friend, Mr. Kagami, to do the graphics. The witty calligraphy he is known for was incorporated into the teacups. Although this combination of characters may seem incompatible, Maruhiro's skill and Mr. Yamamoto's wisdom have created an ambitious work that strikes the right balance. The subtlety of this combination is a quintessential "stylist's personal item.

The onomatopoeic words written by Kaga such as "Gucha Gucha," "Pita Pita," "Uuhauha," "Mochi Mochi," etc., are scattered all over the teacups.

In contrast, this one has a more stately appearance. The two gold-colored characters "Hokudaiji" and "lower half of the body" are written in gold, called "Unmokin (" and "Unmokin )," respectively. The gap between the two characters makes us chuckle.

Both items will go on sale at DEPT River Side BOUTIQUE in Nakameguro from January 5 (Sun.) after the New Year. As the "stylist's personal items" are always sold out immediately, it is likely that they will be sold out quickly this time as well. If you are interested, check your 2020 notebook now.
