The "Yakushiji East Pagoda Base Clay Iron Bowl Sake Cup" by Onishi Rakusai is made from clay taken from the base of the Yakushiji East Pagoda in Nara, and is a piece that evokes a unique history and culture. This sake cup was inspired by the iron bowls used by monks during their training, and its shape and design are imbued with deep meaning.
Use of soil from the foundation of the East Pagoda of Yakushiji Temple
This sake cup is made from precious soil obtained from the base of the East Pagoda of Yakushiji Temple. This soil was cultivated on the land of Yakushiji Temple, which has a long history, and is beautifully utilized through the techniques. The unique texture of the base soil gives the entire sake cup a depth, resulting in a sake cup with a special presence.
The symbolism of the iron pot
The iron bowl is one of the few items permitted to be owned by monks, known as the "Sanro Ichibachi" (three robes and one bowl), and is an important tool used during training and begging. The iron bowl is used to receive food donations, and its shape and texture reflect the simple and solemn life of monks. This sake cup imitates the shape of the iron bowl, and its design embodies the spirituality of monks and the rigors of their training.
The culture of sake cups
Gui-tsubo is a sake vessel used to enjoy sake, characterized by its depth and wide mouth, which allows for easy sipping. Unlike ochoko, it can hold a larger amount of sake, making it the perfect vessel for drinking at home or casually enjoying sake. This gui-tsubo incorporates the shape of a traditional iron bowl while being designed to fit into modern life.
A fusion of tradition and modernity
The Yakushiji East Pagoda Foundation Clay Iron Bowl Sake Cup by Onishi Rakusai is a piece that combines the symbolism of historical clay and the iron bowl, a traditional tool used by monks. This sake cup is not just a sake cup, but a special piece that evokes historical, cultural and religious meaning. Every time you pour sake into it or pick it up, you can feel its profound background, bringing a richness to your everyday life. 18
