This guinomi was wheel-thrown by Taiga Mori in his studio in Bizen. Its low and wide-open form is accentuated by several horizontal ridges that add rhythm to the wall.
The dark surface reveals deep nuances, while the interior shows lighter, irregular effects from wood firing.
Traditionally used for sake, its generous size is also suitable for tasting Japanese teas.
