Shigaraki Yuraku Ofen Guinomi 60 ml

This Guinomi made of Shigaraki clay comes from the Yuraku kiln. The shape appears calm and enclosed, slightly tapering towards the top, with a gently rounded rim. It feels smooth in the hand, the glaze shimmering in an intense turquoise that is reminiscent of deep water when the sky is reflected in it. Towards the rim, the clay lightens in color. The surface is matte and finely textured.

Typical of Shigaraki, a subtle graininess of the clay is visible beneath the glaze, which gives the piece character. No industrial uniformity, but rather a deliberate interplay between form, fire, and material. The Guinomi is excellent for sake, but can also be used for tea or espresso.
