Shino Sake Cup / Hideki Yanashita fukuju The addition of "gosu"This milky white sake cup is fired with Shino glaze that originated in 16th century Japan during the Momoyama period. It is often marked with orange or black spotting, a result of carbon trapping in the firing process, and is regarded as a prized trait that embodies the beauty of imperfection. This particular cup has a "kirijumonji kodai" (cross cut foot), a distinctive feature enhancing its sculptural appeal. For more story about Hideki Yanashita,
