Bizen sake bottle

This is a new Bizen sake flask by Takeshi Kaneshige, created as a milestone to mark his transition to a new stage in his career following the construction of his anagama kiln in Kukui. The clay body has a deep reddish hue reminiscent of old Bizen pieces recovered from the sea, complemented by a well-melted grayish ash glaze that creates a sophisticated contrast between red and gray. You will want to nurture this deeply red surface by letting it soak up plenty of sake over time. The plump form is unpretentious and appears easy to use.
