Shigaraki Ware GUINOMI, Set of 3 by Rakusai Takahashi

Artist: Rakusai Takahashi

A set of three distinct GUINOMI by Rakusai Takahashi, a master craftsman who continues the legacy of Shigaraki ware, honoring the primal dialogue between earth and fire.

The coarse, feldspar-rich clay native to Shigaraki has reacted uniquely to the intense heat of the kiln, giving each of the three vessels a completely individual landscape.
One, a sturdy cylindrical form, bears dramatic dark scorch marks and ash-covered surfaces.
Another, a generous bowl shape, features a serene trail of green glass-like vitrified ash glaze, known as bidoro.
The third vessel charms with its soft, warm scarlet flashes that seem to hold the quiet glow of the embers.

Selecting a cup to match the evening's mood or the nuance of the sake brings a rhythmic pleasure, adding the elemental beauty of Shigaraki to contemporary sake rituals.
