Sake set white
Shigaraki ware tableware. This set includes two sake cups, each about 1mm thick at the rim, for a comfortable drinking experience, and a sake bottle, measuring approximately 180cc (1 go) at its height. Typical of KIGI (Ryosuke Uehara/Yoshie Watanabe), whose graphic design is at its core, these sake cups feature a simple design composed entirely of straight lines, almost as if molded from paper. They are exceptionally thin and lightweight. Approximately 2.5 million years ago, the present-day Shigaraki region was submerged beneath Lake Biwa. Sediment and plankton accumulated at the bottom of the lake rose up, and over the course of 2.5 million years, the clay that formed became clay, forming the material for Shigaraki ware. The linear rigidity, the soft impression of ceramic, and the color of the glaze, which was repeatedly adjusted, create a unique texture, resulting in a unique character that cannot be achieved with porcelain. The manufacturing process required extensive trial and error to recreate the thinness and angle of paper. This shape was only possible thanks to Shigaraki clay, which is fire-resistant and well-suited for crafting large objects. The engraved number 670.25 represents the area of Lake Biwa.
