□ 白薩摩とは？ White Satsuma

「白もん」と呼ばれる白薩摩。薩摩藩の御用窯である苗代川（なえしろがわ）窯で多く焼かれていた陶器で、白い陶土を成形し透明釉をかけたもので表面の細かい「貫入」が特徴の一つ。
Known as 'Shiro-mon,' white Satsuma is a type of pottery predominantly produced at the Naeshirogawa kiln, the official kiln of the Satsuma domain. It features a white clay body covered with a transparent glaze, with fine 'crackle' patterns on the surface being one of its distinctive characteristics.

□ 貫入（かんにゅう）とは？ Crackle-like lines

白薩摩の見どころの一つであり、作成工程の中で表面にできるひび状のもの。陶器の素地と釉薬の膨張・収縮率が異なるため焼き上げた際に生じます。光を受けて私たちに様々な表情を見せてくれます。
One of the highlights of white Satsuma is the crackle-like lines that appear on the surface during the creation process. These occur because the clay body and glaze have different expansion and contraction rates, and they reveal various textures when light hits them.

You can enjoy the aging process caused by chemical reactions between tannins in coffee or tea and the white Satsuma clay. After use, wash the cup as soon as possible and dry it completely to slow down changes and enhance the beauty of the Satsuma crackle.
