A Hidden Japanese Craft | “Akari Sencha” Teacups by GohoKiln 🍵

Today has come the day when I will soon be able to know that I am going to your skin café. I have granted permission for you to go to Skin Cafe. When I learn from you, I continue your opinion. I hope you can come to my skin café. I wish to visit your skin café. Since the inside is a dryer, when making and rotating it, lightly dusting the mold with powder when initially crushing the ore makes it easier to remove the clay from the mold. As you can see from the overall process, we first crush the freshly mined ore and then examine its photonic enhancement properties. The basic idea is to make it thin so that light can pass through, while blocking light elsewhere, allowing light to pass only at the intended locations. Then just let it spin in the dryer for about 20 minutes, and once the dish becomes loose naturally, it should come off. It will take about a week, then. Is this all a template? All types. It's not just here; elsewhere, the main parts are located here, and then there are molds in the gaps. These are all the same type as well. About 500 times if you try, usually around 300 times. It gradually comes in through chemical reactions. Not only does it absorb water, but it also slightly dissolves gypsum, serving as a reagent for chemistry. Usually it would just melt away with a quick shakka shakka shakka shakka, but this one takes a bit more effort. No secrets have appeared up to this point. It's not reflected. It would dissolve right away if it were just an ordinary container, but since it has a mold, it doesn't. It won't melt. Won't it melt? It's a Gari, isn't it? Then, to dry it without distortion, it is placed on something referred to as "land," gradually shrinking while maintaining its circular shape. Is it going to shrink again from here? You're right. The wood is gradually losing moisture, and it's being laid out on the boards while the final finishing work is done underneath, so we'll wait until it's a bit drier before trimming it there. When creating the characteristics of Garisencha, is the distinguishing feature that it's fragile? It's prone to cracking, you know. It gets fissures. It's thin, after all. In thin areas, since the patterns are not identical and colors are mixed, the strength varies in different sections, so it's inevitable that it breaks easily in such places. Things like these lines here. Otherwise, occasionally this pattern gets caught in the mold and doesn't turn properly, so there's quite a bit of waste. How much of the daily production volume for a regular plate is this? One in ten, perhaps. One-tenth. That's right—it can only be made by these two people now. Ah, just one person. I checked whether this would work, so until then, can you make it? Can you? Can you? Will it come out? Acarisensha had not been completed until now. Takaya found it. Since I found it, I'll go through this way. Keep trying in this way, experimenting with various approaches until you finally succeed in getting through. How soft it is, to put it into words, Soft. It took time. Three years. So, what you're saying is that Takaya-san is the only one in Japan who can do this. That's right. I'm the only one who can create an Akaricharger. A master of incredible technology. That's amazing. The condition of the soil still being moist hasn't progressed here, because the layer is thick and thus retains moisture. Just dried. It's made very thin in this area too, so it gets extremely dry, and sometimes cracks appear. Before applying the glaze. You're right. If I have it shaved by that gentleman a moment ago, it turns out like this dent. I'm also having the mouth area cut, and I'm bisque firing it. The base is silicone. Are you only doing the sharp one among the two types of Acarishenja? That's right. This is a transparent medicine, so it turns white right away. Mix thoroughly so that the original color settles evenly, then apply. You're playing amazingly. It's like letting it drop right here. Then, arrange and bake. How many years has your father been doing it? 60 years. Amazing. What's the most rewarding part? The best thing is when my ideas take shape and I'm told they're beautiful. What a pity. Since most of the other parts weren't made into products, it's with the people who worked on it together, the group. I didn't give up. I can't get out of it; sometimes I just give up. I'll try to pull it out somehow, push up, push up. You see, in the end, this is what came out. The reason I made this is because my wife's family runs a tea farm, so I thought I'd make it using sencha. That kind of feeling taking shape, being loved by someone. At times like this, there used to be around 60 items, but how many are there now? About 8 items. But I can still manage to be alone. We must continue to preserve hiro-yaki. I think I can still do more. Do you have something you'd like to convey? I want you to see that there's Japanese craftsmanship right here. It may look like I'm just doing things normally, but since I've got my secret three years, this one's definitely going to slip through. It's handmade by Japanese people. I want you to know it, I want you to pick it up, I want you to see it. After all, it's a Japanese auspicious pattern, so everything about it. My wife's family runs a tea farm, and I believe it's Okitake Tea and Ise Tea from Kinoshita Farm.
