Bizen sake bottle

This is a new Bizen sake flask by Takeshi Kaneshige, marking a new chapter in his career following the completion of his anagama kiln in Kugui. A heavy coating of light gray sesame ash glaze has melted thoroughly to form a "nezumi" (mouse-gray) ash-covered surface. The "nuke" areas where gold metallic accents appear are also captivating, shimmering brilliantly when held up to the light to delight its owner.
