Bizen Hidasuki Sake Cup

This is a new Bizen *hi-dasuki* (fire-cord) sake cup by Yoshiteru Koriki, a popular young artist who was an inner apprentice to the master Sozan Kaneshige. It is a magnificent piece that brilliantly inherits the aesthetic of the Kaneshige school, featuring a wonderful bean-paste-colored clay body with an evocative, fragrant quality. Combined with its moist texture, the cup allows you to experience its elegance with all five senses—through touch, sight, and scent. Despite its profound charm, it remains quiet and understated, gently delivering the rich aroma of sake to your lips. Signed box to follow (please allow some time for shipping).
