A Bizen Hidasuki Guinomi (備前火襷ぐい呑み)

Heisei Era (1989–2019) or Reiwa Era (2019 – present)

About the work

A finely crafted Bizen Hidasuki guinomi (sake cup) by renowned potter Yuichi Yamamoto, celebrated for his mastery in Bizen ware. This guinomi features the iconic hidasuki (fire cord) pattern, created during the kiln firing process by wrapping the vessel with rice straw, resulting in its striking reddish-orange hues against the earthy clay body. Its compact yet refined form embodies the balance of tradition and artistry that Yamamoto’s work is known for, making it a functional and collectible piece for sake enthusiasts.

Accompanying the guinomi is a tomobako (signed wooden storage box) and tomobukuro (signature cloth), ensuring authenticity and preserving its legacy as a fine example of contemporary Bizen pottery.
