Yokayama Shin'ichi Guinomi 70 ml

Stoneware

This striking Guinomi by Yokoyama Shin’ichi impresses with its powerful, angular form and deliberately irregular rim. The front features a broad, reddish-brown surface with fine traces of working, creating an exciting contrast with the rough areas marked by natural ash deposits. On the back, a lively interplay of dark gray, earthy brown, and golden-yellow hues unfolds, bearing witness to the intense effects of the fire. The coarse-grained surface, slightly recessed foot, and asymmetrical form lend the sake cup an archaic aura. A characterful unique piece that impressively expresses the original aesthetics of Bizen-yaki and the fascinating interplay of clay, ash, and fire.

This piece comes in a signed tomobako.
