Master Hekizan ONIMARU's workshop is located in southern Japan. Takatori pottery appeared in 1630 at the instigation of the famous Edo architect and tea ceremony master, Kobori Enshū. Takatori pottery is characterized by thin ceramics, which give it its elegance, and influenced by the idea of beauty as expressed by Enshû according to the principle of kirei-sabi, which designates simplicity, beauty and the natural aging brought about by the work of time.
Hekizan ONIMARU is the third generation of Takatori potters. His Fragrant Cup is typical of the Takatori style, its enveloping shapes highlighting the fragrance of tea, coffee and digestifs. AchiKochi blog - Crafts and Nature

Japanese festival-SETSUBUN
February 2 is Setsubun (節分). It's Japan's national festival, celebrating the arrival of spring according to the ancient Chinese calendar. Setsubun means the separation of each season. There were therefore four festivals at the time, and Setsubun is the only one left today to celebrate the passage from winter to spring.
In Japanese families, the tradition on this day is to throw soybeans while shouting “Oniha soto, fuku ha uchi” (Demons is get out! Happiness get in !), and to eat Ehômaki, a rice roll with several ingredients wrapped in a sheet of nori (roasted seaweed).
The father of the family often disguises himself as a demon during the evening, putting on a mask, and the children throw seeds at him, shouting, until the “demon” disappears. The children often enjoy themselves, but sometimes they get scared and cry. But by the following year, they've understood the game and are having the time of their lives, often after recognizing their father!
When eating the Ehômaki, you must orient yourself in a particular direction, which changes every year, and which is the direction of the god of happiness. You have to make a wish and try to eat the whole roll at once, so that the wish can come true. Obviously it's not easy, but it's all about happiness :)
This year, the direction of happiness is west-south-west!
