Bizen Sake Cup

A new Bizen sake cup by Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with an exceptional aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his handling of clay, firing, and craftsmanship. Viewed from the front, it has a silhouette reminiscent of a tea bowl, but when seen from various angles, it reveals a soft roundness akin to Raku ware. While meticulously crafted, the form remains bold and unpretentious. The rich character of the clay is complemented by powerful yellow sesame-like glaze effects, creating scenery of outstanding beauty.
