The SUSUMU Tea Cup is part of the SUSUMUYA tea ware collection, created for everyday enjoyment of Japanese tea. It is designed by OJI Masanori and produced in Arita, Japan.
Form
The cup features a gently flared Japanese tea cup form, with the body opening slightly toward the rim.
This outward curve distinguishes it from straight-sided vessels and reflects a traditional teacup profile commonly used for Japanese tea.
Material & Finish
Made of Arita porcelain.
The black finish is achieved without glaze, using carbonized GOSU pigment. With continued use, the surface gradually develops a natural sheen from handling.
Sizes
Two sizes are available:
Small: approximately 120 ml
Large: approximately 180 ml
Use
The SUSUMU Tea Cup is designed as a daily-use vessel for Japanese tea, emphasizing simplicity, durability, and a calm presence on the table.
