Seigan Yamane is a highly regarded ceramic artist who lives and works in Hagi town. Many years of trials and experiments with traditional materials and techniques can be seen in the artist's unique vessels. His pieces tend to be irregular in shape and are made of quite massive, often porous clay with small pebbles. They embody the Japanese aesthetic of wabi - sabi. The artist derives great joy from his daily work and wishes to pass it on to all who use the vessels he makes :)

Due to its handmade nature, each teacup is slightly different from the others - the unique distribution of the glaze on the vessel and the subtle differences in dimensions are a natural feature of items made by the artist's hand.
