This sake cup by Kamada Kōji is done in yuteki tenmoku.  Peering inside it gives the impression that one is standing on a hilltop at midnight watching the star-filled sky.  Technically, these are spots of iron oxide (sometimes called "oil spots") which form on the surface of the glaze while cooling in the kiln.  A small amount of cobalt adds mysterious hints of blue.

Kamada Kōji's tenmoku works are held in private collections around the world and, in 2005, were acquired by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for display in their Asian Art collection.

See Kamada Kōji's Osaka Exhibition for more works from his 2011 collection.
