{"product_id":"p3650","title":"Ibe Rokkaku Sake Cup","description":"This is a hexagonal sake cup by Yoshinobu Morimoto from his new exhibition. It is part of a series that expresses the world of tea ceremonies, reinterpreting the highly formal utensils used in tea kaiseki in the Bizen style. It recreates the hexagonal sake cup of Seto ware—a vessel of particularly high prestige often served alongside a sake flask for guests—in the Ibe-te style, serving as a prime example of the creative ingenuity characteristic of his \"creative replicas.\" The *goma* (ash glaze), fired firmly with a set front face, flows in a thick, deep yellow, possessing a gorgeous yet profound aesthetic that differs from the rustic charm of everyday ware. Just as with the original Seto ware, the foot is designed with careful consideration for its use and handling; the base is raised to provide stability, while the glaze covering allows for a delightful evolution in character over time.\n\nSigned wooden box (shiho-san) included\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 7.5cm x 7.4cm × Height 4.9cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tourakuen.jp\/yoshinobu.m.tokusyu2015.php\"\u003eAbout the Yoshinobu Morimoto New Works Exhibition\u003c\/a\u003e\n\nYoshinobu Morimoto was born in Okayama Prefecture in 1976.
