Beautiful sake cup from Tanba-Tachikui ware (Sasayama City, Hyougo Prefecture).
The harmony between its sharp, elegant form and the deeply layered glaze is exceptional.
The glaze reveals subtle tonal variations, shifting between earthy greens and muted browns, a hallmark of Tanba-Tachikui firing.
Tachikui ware is one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Together with Bizen, Tamba, Echizen, Seto, and Tokoname, Tachikui is considered to be one of the most outstanding Japanese kilns with traditions that remain even today.
