AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An unobtainable and complete sake set in Mumyoi-yaki ceramic, created by the skilled hand of Ito Sekisui V, recognized in 2003 as a Living National Treasure of Japan. A work that unites the legendary history of Sado Island with a refined artistic sensibility.
Mumyoi-yaki ceramic is famous for the use of the rare Mumyoi clay, rich in iron oxides, personally collected by the Master at the historic gold mines of Sado Island. In firing, this raw material gives the ceramic an unmistakable dense red-brown, warm and metallic tone.
Each of the 5 cups has a different shape from the others, offering a tactile and visual experience always different with every use. All components are finely hand-painted with delicate motifs of plum blossoms, symbol of rebirth, elegance and tenacity in Japanese culture.
The set is in immaculate and untouched original condition, preserved to date exclusively by a private collection.
Paulownia wooden box bearing the master's autograph seal and traditional silk cloths for protecting the ceramics, also stamped with the artist's original seal.
Illustrative document containing the artist's profile, his biography and notes on the production.
The combination of the raw material mined in the Sado gold mines, the formal variety of the pieces, the completeness of all accompanying documents and Ito Sekisui V's Living National Treasure status makes this set a piece of extraordinary rarity and an exceptional artistic example.
