Bizen Ware Sake Cup
Bizen Ware Guinomi (Sake Cup) in Botamochi Style
Bizen Ware originates from Bizen, Okayama Prefecture, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, and dates back to the 14th century
Botamochi is a traditional confectionary made from pounded glutinous rice, formed into round or oval shapes and covered in red bean paste
Botamochi Bizen Ware is characterized by a pattern resembling this sweet, created by placing rounded objects on top of the piece during firing, resulting in uneven firing and lighter round patterns where areas are covered
