Hello everyone, how are you doing?
The other day, a customer shared a wonderful blog with us.
I found it so fascinating that I took the liberty of asking for permission to feature it here, and they kindly agreed.
For instance, in this look at their evening drinks, they are using an Ibe sake cup by Tomio Ochi that they purchased from our shop, and they have paired it with Bizen, Kiseto, and Karatsu wares to match the meal.
Once sake is poured into the cup, the yellow sesame-like glaze becomes even more vivid.
The coordination of the vessels and the food is truly lovely and quite appetizing.It brings me great joy to see the works being so happily used by our customers.
The pieces seem even more vibrant than they did when they were on display in the shop.
Their collection is breathtaking, featuring not only Bizen but also a remarkable array of Karatsu, Mino, and Shigaraki wares gathered over many years.
I believe this is the fruit of years of deep study and interaction with many different artists.
I find myself constantly learning from them as well.
Please take a look via the link below.
