This is a pocket-sized pictorial book published in 1976 as Volume 365 of the Hoikusha Color Books series. (※No discounts on individual items) The author is a ceramic artist. He seems to be famous as a collector and maker of guinomi (sake cups). This book contains about 300 guinomi from the author's collection. About 1/3 are in color photos, and the rest are in black and white. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and European ceramics are displayed. It's amazing that even Sueki ware is included. There are also quite a few glass vessels. It features a wide variety of shapes, materials, and designs, making it interesting and enjoyable. The latter part of the book discusses the history of guinomi and the author's collecting history, with a unique and opinionated writing style and photos that give it character. #Kiyoaki Tsuji #Mingei #Mingei #Living with antique tools #Careful living #Color Books #Antique market #Antique tools #Introduction to ceramics #Tokkuri (sake bottle) #Sakazuki (sake cup) #Sake vessels #Ceramics #Guinomi #Guinomi Type: Other
