Black Bizen Guinimo and Tokkuri by Oiwa Tomoyuki enclosed respectively in their original signed wooden boxes. There is a wonderful dialog between the two pieces, the bottle blackened with dark dry ash buffeting the surface, while over the same darkness has been blasted molten ash on the cup, flowing around and beading on one side. The juxtaposition between the liquidity and dryness of the two, same colored, ash effects is delightful. The sake cup is 7 cm (2-3/4 inches) diameter, 5.5 cm tall, the Tokkuri 14 cm (5-1/2 inches) tall and both are in excellent condition. We picked these up during our summer trip to Bizen in June.
Oiwa Tomoyuki was born in Hyogo prefecture in 1977, and graduated the Bizen Ceramic Center in 2004. The following year he came to study under the outsider Kakurezaki Ryuichi, where he would remain for 8 years, garnering a lifetime worth of knowledge from the master before going independent. In 2014 he built a half-submerged tunnel kiln (anagama), completing his first firing in 2015. He has since been featured widely and is known for sell out shows, especially for his sake vessels.
