Medium Barrel Cups
Guinomi Nisun ぐい呑み 二寸
Made by: Kawano Minori
This small cup was made by Kawano Minori using a traditional Japanese barrel-making technique called Oke. This method usually involves only a natta (splitting knife), hand plane and copper hoops to make beautiful barrels for various uses.
Traditional Japanese barrels are usually made from softwood, but in this case, Kawano has chosen to use oak wood salvaged from old whisky barrels. This oak is already well seasoned and less prone to warping. It also retains the aroma of the whisky formerly brewed in it, making it ideal as a vessel to serve Western spirits and coffee.
Because it is hand-planed, it has a rustic appearance and beautiful grain. The more you use it, the deeper the colour will change.
桶の製法とワインやウイスキーで使われていた楢の樽材を使い、真鍮の箍で締め上げました。
桶に使われる木材は通常日本の針葉樹のみですが、楢の樽材は狂いが少なくお酒の香りも残るため、洋酒やコーヒーにも合う器として楽しむことができます。
白木で仕上げるため素朴な見た目と美しい木目が特徴です。使い込む程に色合いに深みが増します。
