Offering a 【Zogan-sai Sake Cup】 by Masayuki Imai. 【Item Condition】 This item has been stored at home and is 【new】 with no history of use. The artist's signature is inscribed on the foot of the cup, guaranteeing the quality of the work and the artist's authentication. It comes with a wooden box (kyobako), cloth (kyofu), and a descriptive leaflet (shiori), all in good condition. 【Special Notes】 Masayuki Imai is a leading Japanese ceramic artist and a recipient of the 【Order of Culture】. This piece utilizes his signature 【surface inlay technique】 (a technique of carving the base and inlaying different colored clay), showcasing his exceptional skill. This technique, which uses inlaid colored clay instead of overglaze paints, is characterized by its unique texture and design. (See photos) I have kept this at home, but I have no plans to use it, so I am offering it to someone who needs it. 【Size】 Diameter: approx. 7.5cm × Height: approx. 5cm Type... Sake vessel Type...
