Mug cup / Tamotsu Suzuki

Mug cup by Tamotsu Suzuki 

Mugs and cups are often held in the hand and put in the mouth more often than plates. That is why I think there is a certain affinity , such as how they feel to the touch and whether or not they are comfortable to put on the mouth.

Tamotsu’s mug @tamotsu_suzuki.official are rough to the touch, and at first glance they may be difficult to approach. However, you gradually feel the "warmth" and "softness" of the mugs.

The hand-crafted patterns are like the flickering of a candle flame.
That is why you feel calm when you look at it.

The rim of the mug is getting thinner and easy to drink. This is also important for me.

After I visit his atelier at the end of the year to say hello, I found myself getting to know him better, and we had a lot of fun talking.
Tamotsu's mugs looked very much like his own.

マグカップやコップは、お皿よりも、手に持って、口をつけることが多い。だからこそ、触り心地とか口につけて違和感がないかとか、自分との相性があると思う。

Tamotsuさんのマグカップは、手触りはザラっとして、一見堅牢な見た目。でも、その中に「あたたかみ」とか「やわらかさ」をじんわりと感じる、そんな気がします。
手びねりで制作した跡も、まるで「ろうそくの火のゆらぎ」のようで見ていて落ち着く。

飲み口は、ちゃんと薄く仕上がっていて、飲みやすい。ここも私には重要なところです。

年末のアトリエに「はじめまして」と押しかけてしまい恐縮していたのですが、気がついたらすっかり打ち解けて、お話するのが楽しくて。 Tamotsuさんご本人も、このマグカップのような方でした。
