Ibe Shuten

This is an Ibe sake cup from Yoshinobu Morimoto's new exhibition. Utilizing the sensibilities honed through his challenges in processing and recreating ancient Bizen pottery, the artist has created a dynamic piece that exudes a free-spirited and bold style. True to Morimoto's approach of challenging the masterpieces of ancient ceramics, the piece features a powerful form that feels like a miniature tea bowl. The thick, rich yellow sesame glaze flows down the surface, creating a striking and sophisticated aesthetic. Signed wooden box (shiho-san style)
Diameter 6.6cm x 6.3cm x Height 5.8cm
