23670 TUJI Seimei (Shigaraki sake cup)

Height 5.1cm

Diameter 7.3cm

Seimei Tsuji was fond of antique art from an early age, and was close friends with Kenkichi Tomimoto and Hazan Itaya. He built a kiln in Tama City, and aimed to express the aesthetic sense known as bright sabi with his refined style using Shigaraki clay and natural glazes.

--Was he born to have fun?-- The work, born from the broad insight and aesthetic sense of the artist who is well-versed in ancient art, is a state of "bright sabi."
