work description
It is a sake cup of Yoshimasa Kimura, a writer of Kyoto ware and Kiyomizu ware.
Yoshimasa Kimura's works have a wide variety of glazes, but in fact he has studied glazes almost entirely on his own, which is why he has such a wide range and depth.
This work is a sake cup with the famous “Kameme” pattern, which is one of the variations of the glaze. It is characterized by its large shape, which allows you to fully enjoy the aroma of sake, and the countless brown vertical stripes. The kameme is so called because the vertical stripes are likened to the tip of an ear of rice, and it is one of the most standard tenmoku glaze patterns along with the oil drop. Rice is a symbol of fertility, and as a container for drinking sake produced from rice, it is the most suitable container.
This is an author's work that is highly appreciated not only by Japanese people, but also as a gift for overseas people due to the sake boom in recent years.
Why don't you enjoy a moment of relaxation with Tenmoku glaze sake cups, which are gaining popularity around the world?
* Depending on the work, the appearance of the glaze pattern may differ slightly from the photo. note that.
