Ryuhei Sako piece in the permanent collection of the Ashmolean Museum

We are very excited that this exquisite tea scoop by Ryuhei Sako has recently entered the permanent collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. 

This Mokume-gane artwork is a tea scoop for the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony. This has been acquired thanks to the generous support of Christopher Gorman-Evans.
