{"product_id":"p2094","title":"Ibe-style sake cup","description":"This Ibe sake cup is the work of Yoshinobu Morimoto, an artist with a superior aesthetic sense who continues to evolve in his handling of clay, firing, and craftsmanship. It features Morimoto’s signature refined cup shape combined with dynamic *goma* (sesame glaze). There is a slightly soft, translucent quality in the interior not seen in his previous works, which, along with a subtle *hidaski* (fire-cord) mark, creates a unique landscape. The base, which has a *kabuse-yaki* (covered-firing) style finish, displays a rich, deep *hidaski* effect, allowing one to thoroughly enjoy every detail even down to the corners of the foot.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san)\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.7cm × Diameter 7.5cm × Height 3.1cm\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.
