Imbe Guinomi

This Guinomi was fired by Gosuke Yashiro around 2023.

It was created in a newly constructed, ultra-small, fully underground Anagama kiln of his own design. In a bold and experimental approach, the firing was carried out without using refractory materials except for the ceiling area.

The surface features a quintessential Bizen aesthetic—a refined harmony of Kigoma and rich Shiso-colored hues. Especially noteworthy is the Shiso tone, which bears a unique smoky nuance, adding a profound sense of character.

Measuring 7 cm in diameter, the piece offers a comfortable, classic grip. Coupled with the soft texture resulting from minimal use of refractory materials, this sake cup delivers a subtle yet deeply satisfying tactile experience.

It is an unused piece, carefully stored in pristine condition since it was purchased new, and has never been opened or handled.
