Description from the seller
Fudō-gama (不動窯) Mino Ware Guinomi Set (Set of 5)
This is a remarkable set of five handcrafted Guinomi (traditional Japanese sake cups) from the Fudō-gama (Fudo Kiln), located in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, the heart of the famous Mino Ware (Minoyaki) production region.
The set showcases the incredible versatility of Minoyaki, featuring five cups with a range of beautiful, distinctive glazes and textures:
Rustic Diversity: The cups display a rich palette of earthy tones, including deep brown with a flowing white rim, a solid glossy chestnut/red-brown, speckled tenmoku style glazes, a warm yellow-ochre, and a clean, milky white.
Artisan Craftsmanship: Each piece is unique, demonstrating the skilled hand of the potter with varied forms, subtle finger marks, and rustic kiln effects. They perfectly capture the wabi-sabi aesthetic—the appreciation of beauty found in imperfection and transience.
Dimensions: Each cup is approximately 5 cm in width and 4 cm in height, ideal for a traditional sake tasting experience.
Presentation: The set is housed in its original wooden box, which features calligraphic inscriptions, as well as a slatted wooden holder for display (as pictured). This makes it an exceptional gift or a distinguished piece for any collector.
A superb, museum-quality set that embodies the rustic elegance and rich history of Mino ceramic art.
Shipping Information:
The item will be carefully packaged and shipped with tracking. International shipping is available. Delivery times may vary depending on the destination country.
Customs duties and other fees are the responsibility of the customer.
