Masami Sunata, Shinogi Cup – SM097

SM097 – Ø x H: 3¼” (8.5cm) x 3½” (9cm)

“Shinogi”: The Shinogi technique is a traditional Japanese pottery method that involves carving vertical grooves or ridges into the surface of a ceramic piece. This technique enhances the visual appeal by creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow while also improving grip and tactile experience.

Handcrafted by Japanese Potter Masami Sunata, who lives in Yamanashi Prefecture.

His kiln name is Suõyõ (沙鷗窯),  the theme is it brings a sense of color every day of life, and it stays close beside you.

Due to the organic nature of making this type of porcelainware, each piece is slightly different from piece to piece.
