Life Hack Noto Mug / Blue - Asaka Bundle Deal [HN35QRI9]

The mug is the nature of Satoumi Satoyama, and the coloring is inspired by the rippling landscape of Noto, with ripples, rough waves, and a water surface that takes on various expressions depending on the wind.

Noto Town was affected by the earthquake in 2024. Nanao City, where "Cafe Aroma Bi" is located, was also severely damaged by the earthquake, and water supply continues to be cut off. The damage to the store was minimal, so the cafe has been reopened as a place where residents can relax while collecting water from the water station every day.

Asaka wants to create a new Noto little by little, wondering if there is anything he can do to revitalize the town.

Ceramic Artist / Potter - ASAKA

ASAKA creates ceramics at a studio in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, the birthplace of Mino ware. 

His works are initially produced using a mass-production technique called ‘Ikomi,’ but he then adds personal touches to transform them into unique pieces that cannot be mass-produced. His style is modern and very stylish, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality that becomes more apparent when held in hand.

His works have been donated to the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy (MIC).

Ikomi is a ceramic molding technique in which liquefied clay is poured into a plaster mold, and once the mold is removed, the shaped clay is extracted. It is an ancient method that has long been used for shaping ceramics.
