{"product_id":"p1980","title":"Ibe Cup","description":"This is a new Ibe sake cup by Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with a superior aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his work with clay, firing, and craftsmanship. The piece combines a refined, characteristic Morimoto cup form with dynamic \"goma\" (sesame) ash glaze. The interior features a slightly soft, translucent quality not seen in his previous works, which, along with a faint \"hidasuki\" (fire-cord) marking, creates a unique landscape. The \"kaise-yaki\" (covered-firing) style foot showcases a rich, viscous hidasuki, allowing one to appreciate even the corners of the base in detail.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san style)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 8.7cm × Diameter 8.5cm × Height 3.2cm\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.
