About the work
This stunning Gakuyō Cup by contemporary ceramic artist Shingu Sayaka captures an organic, natural elegance. The petal-inspired form, with its graceful flare, is accentuated by contrasting black and white glazes, giving the piece an ethereal yet striking visual impact. The rough, dark exterior and smooth, bright interior create a delightful contrast, making it perfect for both tea and sake rituals.
Included with the cup are a tomobako (wooden storage box), signed by the artist, as well as a cloth for safekeeping, preserving the traditional charm and value of the work.
