Hagi Yaki Shochu Cup
Hagi Yaki Shochu Cup
This was a one of a kind vessel. If you are looking for something similar, you can find more stunning pieces by Makino-san in his collection.
This shochu cup is a stunning example of the simple beauty of Hagi yaki. Makino-san's white straw ash only drips from the rim of the cup allowing the features of the clay to shine through. An uneven carved band wraps the cup, creating an element of wabi sabi to the piece. Makino-san dug the clay for this vessel in Toyokita-cho, Shimonoseki City.
This piece is a completely unique piece by Masanori Makino.
