Hideki Yanashita creates timeless ceramics rooted in tea aesthetics. Guided by the ideals of wabi and sabi, his work embraces natural materials, quiet forms, and the beauty of imperfection, beyond trends and time. He is known for wood-fired Raku, Yakishime, Ido, and Oribe styles rooted in wabi-sabi aesthetics.
(Mie Prefecture, Japan)
Iga, located in the mountains of Mie Prefecture, is home to one of Japan’s oldest pottery traditions. Iga-yaki 伊賀焼 dates back to the 7th century and is known for its rough, fire-marked surfaces and strong ties to the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. Made from highly refractory clay with embedded feldspar, Iga ware is traditionally wood-fired, often resulting in natural ash glazing and dramatic kiln effects. These characteristics made it a favorite of tea practitioners during the Momoyama period and continue to influence contemporary tea ceramics today.

The person behind UNEARTHED
For over 15 years I have been collecting ceramics and drinking tea very seriously. Now I am funnelling all of that experience into finding and curating great wares and tea.
We only sell what I personally like a lot, and that includes the tea I drink myself every day. I choose every maker. I taste every tea before it goes into the shop. I travel to Japan and China to meet the people who make what we sell.
Until now the entire endeavour is in my hands from end to end: sourcing, logistics, photography, education, labelling and packing your parcels.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly host Workshops and Tea Experiences, and we supply cafés and shops with matcha and equipment at wholesale prices.
I so enjoyed visiting Unearthed while I was in Munich. Marcel was very generous with his time while I asked many questions, and I came away with a beautiful little guinomi which I’m very pleased with.
I’ll be back for another browse next time I’m in town!
Wunderbarer Einsteiger Matcha. Ich habe ein bisschen damit herum probiert und kann die Zubereitung mit gefiltertem Wasser empfehlen. Er schmeckt sowohl pur, als auch als Matcha Latte. Er macht Lust darauf, sich weiter an Matcha heran zu tasten.
Habe mich nach kurzer Recherche für diesen Matcha entschieden und es nicht bereut. Die Qualität ist herausragend.
Ein wirklich toller Workshop! Die Atmosphäre war super angenehm und liebevoll gestaltet. Alles wurde verständlich und mit viel Leidenschaft erklärt. Es hat total Spaß gemacht, mehr über Matcha zu lernen und ihn selbst zuzubereiten. Eine wunderschöne Erfahrung, die ich auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen kann!
Beautiful teapot, satisfying pour, air tight lid, soften the tea as expected. I'm very happy with this purchase
