This is the first Hagi lefty cup that causes righties to adapt. A win for the lefties of the world!

That said, my snowdrift is currently attempting to contain a cupful of Ujibashi San no Ma.

I will try to do some pics in a bit.
I am seeing more and more visible crackles with each use, so it resists but is not crackle-proof.

I'm surprised by how heavy it is and by how nice it feels in the hand. I thought the carved lines would make the feel in the hand more awkward but it doesn't.
The vertical lines in the glaze which are not so deeply carved are stunning!
Thanks Chip for offering two SO:s so completely different as the last two
Yes, the vertical lines are really stunning!
You are welcome, this is quite rewarding and the sharing is outstanding!

While this
exact piece will not likely make an encore to the Hagi SO program, look for more Eiichi, definitely! SO 17 or 18 is already tentatively planned for an Eiichi, and I certainly hope to check out what else this guy has up his sleeves.
