Description

This Yunomi is larger than his usual style.
I think it is rarer than the flat-design Yunomi called Kumidashi.
This Yunomi is made from rough clay with small stones.
He fired this Yunomi inside another large piece or in a refractory box.
The simple, understated design and wonderful colors evoke a sense of wabi-sabi.
His wife signed a wooden box after Ken's death.
