Characteristics of Ido Sake Cups

Exquisite balance: The piece is finished to just the right degree, the plum blossom bark is not too loud, and the "Gohon" pattern that appears throughout the inside of the cup is usually faint, but when you pour sake into it, it subtly emerges, which is enjoyable.

The "scenery" of Ido guinomi mainly refers to the natural changes that appear on the surface of the vessel due to firing, as well as intentionally created patterns and expressions. These are unique and are created by the characteristics of the clay and glaze, and the conditions of the kiln during firing.
