Description

Kyoto native Ikai Yūichi has trained under the late Shimizu Uichi (1926-2004) who, in 1985, was awarded the title of Living National Treasure for his outstanding work in ceramic making.  And it is from his sensei that Ikai learned the secrets to coaxing subtle hues and fluid effects from the oldest and most rudimentary of all glazes - hai, or ash.

This lovely saké set is lavishly glazed in the artist's hakuyūsai - a rice straw ash over an iron-rich slip.  Its cool, wintry character makes it ideally suited for enjoying chilled saké during hot summer months.
