This is an extremely rare Oribe piece among Rosanjin's sake vessels, and is almost never seen as a sake cup.
In addition, in March 1955, Rosanjin was recommended as a Living National Treasure for Oribe ware, but he declined the award, and to this day, Rosanjin is the only person to have been recommended as a Living National Treasure for Oribe ware.
Because of its high value, it goes without saying that this item is genuine, but counterfeits are often seen, so special care must be taken.
Born from Rosanjin's creativity, the slightly clog-shaped design, as if the body had been carved out, gives the viewer a sense of joy and enrichment. The beautiful green Oribe coloring and the beautiful greenish Oribe glaze tone are reflected in the colorful red kiln-fired scenery, creating an exquisite color scheme. The glaze tone is also well-suited to this playful design, and the color adds a sense of splendor to the unique Oribe, making it a truly wonderful coincidence. Among Rosanjin's sake cups, this is an outstanding piece that should be passed down to future generations.
