Dripping coffee cup Tenmoku

A work from the Dripping series, in which beautiful patterns emerge on the fine white porcelain of Arita ware from a brush laden with glaze, moved lightly, freely, at times with a flick of the wrist.

This is a coffee bowl finished with silver over tenmoku glaze — a one-of-a-kind piece created entirely by hand.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
Inoue's signature works, made using a technique called "yūteki" (glaze-drip), deliberately relinquish control of the brush, expressing the chance and improvisation that surface unconsciously as a result.

A work fusing the spirit of street culture — outspoken and bold in its sense of color — with the seemingly opposite tradition of Arita ware.

*As natural materials are used and each piece is made entirely by hand, individual variation occurs in pattern, shape, coloring, and size. We appreciate your understanding in advance.
