Slight variations in size, shape, colour, and surface are inherent to the process. I hope you will embrace these small differences as characteristics that give each piece individuality and character, making them all the more lovable.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Yuichi Romita is a young Japanese-Italian potter traditionally trained in the Nanban Yakishime style of unglazed wood-fired pottery in Karatsu, Japan. During a period of four years, Yuichi studied as an apprentice under Nakazato Tarouemon, the 14th generation of an unbroken line of family potters dating back to the late 14th century.<\/p>\n<p>Following his stay in Japan, Yuichi moved to Sk\u00e6lsk\u00f8r in the south-western part of Zealand, Denmark, where he has developed his own interpretation of Nanban Yakishime by combining his experiences from his apprenticeship in Karatsu with his position as artist-in-residence at the International Ceramic Reserach Center of Guldagergaard. Yuichi now has his own ceramics studio in Malm\u00f6, Sweden, but continues to fire unglazed works at Guldagergaard.<\/p>\n<p>By combining Danish and German clay, Yuichi creates his own unique clay body. Subsequently, he wood-fires his works for up to 36 hours by himself at a relatively low temperature &#8211; a highly exhausting and technically demanding process that prevents the firewood ash from melting and thereby keeps it from turning into glaze. Yuichi&#8217;s works thus achieve their characteristic soft and matte surface, where the clay body&#8217;s mineral composition and flames within the kiln imbue each indiviual piece with unique expressions and surface textures.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Measures | <span lang=\"ja\">\u5bf8\u6cd5<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Capacity: approx. 170 ml<\/p>\n<p>Dimensions: approx.
