In his 40 years working in tenmoku, Koji Kamada has developed a number of outstanding signature glazes.  This alluring guinomi (sake cup) is done in his suisei tenmoku.  While cooling in the kiln, an intricate web of wood ash forms just below the glassy surface - details which provoke viewers to ponder the mystery of their creation.  Below this gossamer, a small amount of cobalt in the glaze effectively captures the colors of the deep sea where sunlight yields to darkness.

Handcrafted to a wafer thinness, the cup is lightweight and perfectly balanced.

A contemplative gem for any sake connisseur.

See Koji Kamada's 40th Year Commemorative Exhibition for more works from his 2008 collection.
