AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a sake cup with an ice flow design.
Guinomi are larger than regular sake cups.
In Japan, drinking with mouth wide open is called "Gugui gui nomi" (gulping).
For this reason, they are preferred by people who can handle a lot of alcohol.
The beautiful depiction of glacial ice flows, with its pink-to-white gradation, is captivating.
The contrast with the black is also striking.
Shuji Yanagibashi (1964-)
By strictly controlling the shrinkage difference, cooling rate, and firing temperature of the glaze,
he intentionally creates cracks.
Unlike simple crazing, the cracks are thick and directional, giving the impression of flow (vortexes and radiation).
He specializes in expressions evoking natural phenomena (glaciers, ice flow, and the earth's crust).
He creates sake cups and other items, but his penchant for artistic contemporary art is strong.
This cup dates from a period when he had established his ice flow design technique and was well established.
Dated around 1990.
He is the only artist to use this technique to explicitly depict nature and the earth's crust.
Includes a signed original box.
Dimensions:
H 6.3cm x W 6.3cm x 110g
