Bizen Hidasuki Sake Bottle

This is a Bizen hidasuki sake bottle by Jumpei Kaneshige, the eldest son of Kosuke Kaneshige, the leading figure of the Kaneshige family. It is a small, elegant bottle with a capacity of just under one go, making it the perfect size for when you want to enjoy a little drink. Based on a wheaten-colored body fired to a firm finish, it is wrapped in deep, generous hidasuki markings, creating a soothing aesthetic with a natural, understated charm. A defining feature is the wide, vigorous mouth, characteristic of Jumpei-sensei’s style, which seeks to preserve the energy of the clay all the way to the rim.
