Sakurai Yoshie is thought to be an artist who creates ceramic works using ash glaze. Ash glaze is a glaze made from wood ash and grass ash, and is characterized by its natural texture and warm color. Sakurai's works are attractive because of their designs that incorporate modern sensibilities while being based on traditional techniques. How about using them as glasses for Japanese whisky?
Characteristics of the ash-glazed horse-riding cup: The horse-riding cup is a cup with a long base that is said to have been designed for drinking sake while on horseback. Its unique shape is still popular as a sake cup today. The use of ash glaze creates a calm color of pale gray or bluish gray, and the cup is smooth to the touch, and the more it is used, the more flavor it acquires.
