Description
Bizen Guinomi by Tomoyuki Matsui (circa 1999)
A former instructor at a ceramics center who dedicated himself to training the next generation, Tomoyuki Matsui created this earlier Bizen sake cup. A career record enclosed up to 1999 suggests the piece was made around that time.
Across the surface, kigoma, sangiri, and koge-goma fuse and cling to the body—an authoritative firing landscape characteristic of Matsui’s robust kiln work.
Inside the well, within the shadow of the botamochi (the circular mark left by a refractory disc), hidasuki has been applied; under a strong reduction atmosphere, the hidasuki itself has taken on a golden sheen, lending quiet richness to the interior.
The lightly undulating rim displays a textbook, poised movement—very much in keeping with an educator’s hand—and promises excellent usability.
Though an earlier work, it remains in excellent condition with no noticeable soiling or signs of use.
He was born in Kumamoto Prefecture in 1931.
He served as a lecturer at the Bizen pottery center from 1960 to 1973.
