About the work
A striking Oribe-style guinomi (sake cup) by Katsunori Sawa, featuring bold green glaze, dynamic black brushwork, and natural, asymmetrical contours. The faceted body and flowing decoration highlight Sawa’s distinctive approach—merging traditional Japanese aesthetics with raw, expressive energy. Perfectly sized for savoring sake, this piece also stands as a compelling work of functional art.
This guinomi is presented with a tomobako (signed wooden storage box), ensuring authenticity and heritage.
