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 handsome saké set is glazed in a natural oak and rice straw ash over an iron-rich slip. It came from the kiln enrobed in the kind of earthy, organic tenor for which Ikai Yūichi's works are renowned.
The ideal gift for any saké aficionado.
