Shinjiro Aika - Shigaraki Guinomi

19,800 YEN
Sold out

size : W7.1cm×7.0cm×H5.3cm

The works of Shinjiro Aika are best described as “beyond profitability.”
He is a ceramic artist who relentlessly fires his pieces until they meet his own high standards, resulting in truly outstanding creations.
This particular Guinomi was fired in his kiln in Ushimado and is made in the Shigaraki style.

The natural ash glaze flowing dramatically from the front and reverse side is nothing short of breathtaking.
Its vivid, clear green hue complements the Shigaraki clay body perfectly, giving the piece a refreshing and translucent quality.

The clay surface itself is exceptional, with a deep, glossy orange tone that appears almost wet to the eye.
Together with the serene green glaze, the piece evokes the image of pure mountain spring water cascading over smooth stones.



Kei Fujiwara - Bizen Hidasuki Shuhai

49,500 YEN

size : W6.9cm×6.5cm×H5.5cm

This is a Bizen Hidasuki Guinomi by Kei Fujiwara, a beloved artist known for his bold yet gentle style.

Judging from its style and firing, this piece likely dates from his mid-career period. It features the distinctive red clay tones and bold Hidasuki lines typical of the Fujiwara family.

The cup has a large, open form created with fluent wheel-throwing, reflecting Kei Fujiwara’s reputation as a heavy drinker who favored generously shaped sake vessels.

The surface is covered with deep Hidasuki markings over a matte red clay body that resembles unglazed earthenware in texture. The vivid orange lines, formed by burning rice straw, appear almost as if the straw’s essence was condensed and transferred directly onto the piece. The contrast between the matte body and the glossy Hidasuki marks gives the piece a striking visual character.

Inside the cup, the texture shifts noticeably—smooth and smoky from the straw’s combustion—creating a lovely contrast to the exterior. It's a piece that invites you to enjoy not just sake, but also the evolving character of its surface as you drink.



Rokuro Nakamura - Bizen Guinomi

165,000 YEN
Sold out

size : W7.7cm×7.8cm×H5.3cm

This is Guinomi made by Rokuro Nakamura who is called a master of sake ware.
The Nakamura clan's unique body design makes it very easy to hold.
I assume from the design and the wooden box that he worked on it after the age of 80.
It is quite large, but very easy to grip, as is typical of Rokuro Nakamura, who loves to drink.
The gentle scarlet color of Hidasuki and the wild body seem to be unbalanced, but I think they go very well together.



Takashi Baba - Shizuku Hai

17,600 YEN

size : W9.7cm×9.6cm×H4.7cm

Takashi Baba is a ceramic style that combines sculpture and Bizen ware.
He uses a lot of shavings and patterns to create highly artistic works.
This Guinomi was fired by him in Februaly 2025, combining a Bizen clay body with feldspar glaze.
The surface features scattered feldspar grains that seem to burst from the matte orange background, creating a mysterious and striking effect.
The glaze has been pushed to its limits, creating the appearance of ice crystals lightly clinging to the surface.
The form is simple, inspired by the shape of an Ido chawan, with a subtle cut in the Koudai.
Its straightforward shape allows you to fully enjoy the bold and experimental firing.



Michiaki Kaneshige - Imbe Guinomi

44,000 YEN

size : W6.5cm×6.5cm×H5.5cm

Michiaki Kaneshige is the eldest son of Toyo Kanesige.
He creates traditional Bizen ware and innovative sculptures while following the teachings of his father, Toyo Kaneshige.
The work is very simple in style, but it is filled with Michiaki's ceramic aesthetics.
Red, orange, purplish red, brown, etc. are rapidly changing to create a complex and wonderful clay color.
When you pour liquor, the clay color gets wet and becomes a more wonderful color that intoxicates you.



Mitsuru Isezaki - Imbe Guinomi

17,600 YEN

size : W6.2cm×5.9cm×H6.0cm

Mitsuru Isezaki is one of the potters who inherited Bizen ware redeveloped by Toyo Kanesige.
His pottery style is simple and undecorated to show off the goodness of the clay.
This work was fired by him around 2004.
The surface of this Guinomi has a rainbow-colored fire pattern called "Kinsai".
Due to the influence of Kinsai, Hangzhou has also changed to a metallic color.
His resume and the yellow cloth were not included, so I have enclosed ones prepared by our gallery.

Yuho Kaneshige - Karatsutsuchi Haiyu Tokkuri

110,000 YEN
Sold out

size : W8.8cm×8.4cm×H12.2cm 250cc

Yuho Kaneshige is the third son of Sozan Kaneshige.
He inherited Imbe's house and kiln from his father.
He was presenting traditional Kaneshige style works.
But around 2018 he started a new challenge.
He demolished the kiln that he inherited from his father and made a more primitive kiln.
This Tokkuri was fired in May 2025.
This Tokkuri was made using clay that the artist personally unearthed in the Karatsu region around the mid-Heisei era. It represents the culmination of his work with glazed pottery.
The surface shows the true charm of Karatsu ware—rustic and powerful. The slightly sandy clay was slowly shaped on the potter's wheel, creating a rough texture that stands in contrast to the more refined feel of Bizen ware.
Though the piece is simply glazed with ash glaze and no iron painting, it has a quiet elegance cultivated through the artist’s experience in making tea ceramics. The title "Karatsu Clay with Ash Glaze" reflects his free-spirited approach, unconstrained by tradition.



Yu Fujiwara - Bizen Shuhai

38,500 YEN

size : W6.8cm×6.7cm×H5.7cm

Yu Fujiwara had a handicap in his sight but therefore produced a daring style.
This Guinomi has a very strong presence in your hands.
But it's tuned just fine without being too heavy.
This piece was fired inside a protective sagger in a Noborigama , featuring a deep reddish-brown Hidasuki pattern over a rich, reddish-azuki-colored clay surface.
The interior is entirely covered with glossy Hidasuki markings, giving it a distinct character from the exterior. The luster of the pattern evokes the refined feel of lacquerware or cast iron, adding a unique and elegant presence to the piece.



Rokuro Nakamura - Bizen Guinomi

220,000 YEN

size : W7.5cm×7.4cm×H5.4cm

This is Guinomi made by Rokuro Nakamura who is called a master of sake ware.
The red clay color on the front part makes it even more beautiful when you use it by getting wet with sake.
The green Goma on the side also goes well with the red clay color.
The Nakamura clan's unique body design makes it very easy to hold.
I presume that this Guinomi was fired when he was about 70 years old.
