Yohen-style free cup

This Bizen-yaki yohen free cup is the work of Takashi Baba, who was born in Imbe and has loved Bizen pottery since childhood, finding his life's joy in creating pieces and firing kilns. Its slightly smaller, elegant size makes it easy for women to use as well. It is perfect for enjoying a beer slowly, one small sip at a time. The stunning scarlet *hidasuki* (fire-cord) markings are integrated with the intense *haikaburi* (ash-covered) glaze that seems to cling to the surface, telling the story of the mystique of the Bizen kiln, which displays infinite transformations.

Diameter 7.5cm × 7.5cm × Height 9.5cm Takashi Baba was born in 1983 as the eldest son of Bizen ceramic artist Shosuke Baba. Thinking from a young age that he would become a potter, he chose sculpture in university to broaden the scope of his ceramics. After graduating from the Tokyo University of the Arts with a degree in sculpture in 2006, he honed his skills at the Kyoto Municipal Institute of Industrial Technology and Culture. He became independent in 2007 and held his first solo exhibition. Currently, he is active primarily through solo exhibitions at department stores.
