work description
It is a 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.
Among the variations of the glaze, this work is a sake cup with a green crest. It is a large-sized vessel that allows you to fully enjoy the aroma of sake, and is characterized by a beautiful pattern with countless vertical stripes. One of the most famous patterns of Tenmoku glaze is called "Kamemoku", which resembles an ear of rice. Very rare and unique. Wouldn't it be interesting to have it in pairs so that you can compare it with regular gondolas?
It is a work of art 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.
