This coffee cup and saucer set is by the current (third generation) artist. Its thinness is the result of a pursuit for the finest, most pleasant mouthfeel possible in Kyo-Kiyomizu ware. The painting demonstrates a delicacy and intricacy born from deep contemplation of what defines the essence of Kyoto. With the elegant and sophisticated combination of indigo and gold on the outside and a soft hue on the inside, this piece is a true embodiment of "the beauty of use."
