This intriguing sake cup is done in Kamada Kōji's signature yohen koh - a glaze which derives its name from the fine yellow sand which drifts over to Japan from the Gobi Desert every spring.  Unlike its shinier tenmoku cousins, the character of yohen koh is much more reserved.  A complex reaction between iron and ash creates the appearance of fine yellow sand dusted over a golden underlayer.

The body is handcrafted to a wafer-like thinness and undulates upward from the footring.  It makes a unique addition to any saké vessel collection.

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