Hidasuki Sake Cup

This *hidasuki* (fire-cord) sake cup is the work of Mashiro Aiga, an artist known for creating uncompromising, spirited pieces. It features a deep scarlet hue achieved through thorough firing, characteristic of Aiga's signature *hidasuki* style. Rich, deep crimson lines are layered over the scarlet-toned surface, revealing new discoveries the longer you gaze upon it. The interior features a deep wheel-thrown texture that highlights the quality of the *hidasuki*, adding yet another layer of depth to its rich scenery. Signed wooden box (shiho-zan) included
