Shino Shochuhai (志野焼酎杯)
This is a Mino ware cup which Sakai-san has created.
Shino is used for semi-transparent milky white colored glaze and has soft texture which is similar to white porcelain.
The white soft tone makes an additional impact on us.
Height : 10.0 cm
Diameter : 9.6 cm
Sakai-san has learned ceramic a lot under Kato Kozo who is the living national treasure, setoguro. He creates a new type of Shino-yaki in his own individuality.
