Furuta Oribe (1544-1615), a warrior, tea master and student to Sen-no-rikyu (1522-1591) gave his name to that genre of asymmetrical potteries It was more in tune with the concept of beauty at the core of th ...click for details

Here is yet another beautiful guinomi (sake cup) made by Unokawa Kazumasa, who is a master of Tenmoku pottery, one of the most difficult to make. This particular piece is a more personal work, with more fluidity in its design. Yet, as much as a Tenmoku piece, the stellar quality of the cup relates the potter’s poetic spirit and his relation to the cosmos.
Unokawa Kazumasa was born in Nara in 1952, not far from Kyoto. He never had a mentor and let “the clay, the kiln, the fire and nature be h ...click for details

This splendid guinomi (sake cup) is the work of a potter named Yoshimoto Shuho, born in the city of Bizen in 1938. The hidasuki (red fire streak) on the bare clay are one of the wonderful features of Bizen ware and give great appeal to the cup.

The guinomi is signed, in perfect condition, and will be shipped in a signed box.

This exquisite guinomi (sake cup) was made by a Japanese potter named Unokawa Kazumasa. Tenmoku literally means the eye of the heaven, in Japanese, and holding a Tenmoku ware is like having a piece of the cosmos in the hands. This kind of pottery was very popular among the Ashikaga Shoguns, who revered these spectacular ceramics, pieces of heaven, and still some of the most difficult to make.
Although small in size, a guinomi is often a gauge of skills for a potter, like the highly spiritua ...click for details

This intriguing guinomi (sake cup) is a rare piece made with clay from the island of Hawai, by Suzuki Goro, who once again has pushed back the limits of his creativity and knowledge of his craft. The darker tones of the cup echo the volcanic nature of the clay. While a vibrant yellow erupts out of the vessel, the calm and empty kodai (foot) is the expression of infinite potential whence new life can come forth. The extremes complete the expression of that tropical microcosm.
