AKAR Design also known as Clay AKAR hosts a special Yunomi exhibition every year. After a few years of hiatus we both selected 6 Yunomi for this year’s online invitational show. The show takes place on June 17 at 10:00 Central (11:00am Eastern). The show can sell out fast so if you have not made an account at AKAR it would be good to do so.

From Wikipedia- "A yunomi (Japanese: 湯のみ) is a tall form of a Japanese teacup, typically made from a ceramic material and having no handle.Being taller than wide, with a trimmed or turned foot it is a relatively large hot drink vessel, compared with more formal tea-drinking cups."
