Description
Kyoto native Ikai Yūichi has trained under the late Shimizu Uichi (1926-2004) who, in 1985, was awarded the title of Living National Treasure for his outstanding work in ceramic making. And it is from his sensei that Ikai learned the secrets to coaxing subtle hues and fluid effects from the oldest and most rudimentary of all glazes - hai, or ash.
This lovely saké set is done in a natural ash glaze made from pine and rice straw. For the aficionado who appreciates fine saké from the finest pottery.
A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist. Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
