Bizen Sake Cup

This is a Bizen sake cup by the Bizen treasure, Takeshi Kaneshige, whose grandfather was a Living National Treasure and whose father was an Intangible Cultural Property holder. This piece was fired in an anagama kiln that he built himself, which he has repeatedly researched and improved upon. The moist, profound texture of the clay will evolve the more you use it, allowing you to enjoy it for many years to come. This flavor is truly a testament to his research. The gentle form, reminiscent of his father, Michiaki, also makes this a wonderful piece. Signed wooden box to be provided later (please allow some time for shipping).
