Oribe Beer Garden

This is an Oribe beer mug by Masao Akitani, an artist who studied under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and crafts works brimming with unique originality while embracing a fresh spirit. It is his first attempt at Oribe using Shigaraki clay, and the cool, refreshing glaze is truly wonderful. The form, which reflects the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the Isezaki school, incorporates beautiful curves and subtle cuts within a streamlined design, making it simple yet timeless. It comes in a paulownia wood box, making it perfect as a gift or keepsake. (We can provide gift wrapping and paper bags, so please feel free to request them on the order screen.) Signed paulownia wood box (with two-way lid)
Diameter 8.1cm x 8.1cm x Height 11.4cm
