This is a very rare white brushed iron painting sake cup by Munemaro, who is considered a rare sake cup maker. It is neatly rendered to be comfortable to hold, carefully applied with white brush strokes all over, and painted with a light touch of floral patterns using his specialty "iron painting." The simple beauty of the iron painting that stands out against the white background is impressive. Munemaro never studied under anyone in his life, but instead invented various techniques freely and as he pleased, enjoying the rich world of pottery freely. Using "iron glaze," which was the core of Munemaro's diverse techniques, the natural floral patterns that stand out subtly yet vividly stand out elegantly in the sake cup, making this a particularly valuable piece that gives a glimpse of his unique and diverse expressive power in a sake cup.
