This beautiful guinomi is the work of a Shino ware master craftsman named Suzuki Tomio. Like great sake cups, it will bring to the experience of drinking what sake lacks in colors. Born in Kyoto in 1948, Suzuki Tomio established his first kiln in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, in the Yawata district, in 1988 and since 1989 specializes only in Shino-yaki. He is especially known for his Yohenkin Shino, which he developed on his quest to always creating his craft anew. Suzuki Tomio has held expositions at major venues in Japan and has been the recipient of several awards. He is also featured in books which recognize contemporary Japanese ceramists. Dimensions: 8 cm x 6 cm (3.2 in x 2.4 in), Weight 155 g (5.4 oz)
