Description

This is a Bizen yohen sake bottle by Eiyuki Wani, who apprenticed under Toyo Kaneshige and inherited his techniques and vision as his final disciple. The charm of this piece lies in its evocative appearance, reminiscent of a full moon peeking through the clouds. Its plump, adorable shape has the air of a drawstring bag, and the powerful yet understated black kiln-transformation (yohen) complements the form perfectly. Its presence somehow calls to mind a gentle pastoral landscape.

Signed wooden box (shiho-san style)
Rim 3.7cm × Body diameter 8.9cm × Body diameter 8.9cm × Height 9.8cm; Capacity: approx. 240cc
