{"product_id":"p4052","title":"Bizen small sake bottle","description":"This is a newly kiln-fired small Bizen sake bottle by Shusaku Taku, an artist who shapes his work by fermenting the everyday emotions he experiences, just as Bizen ware has matured while accompanying the continuous activities of people throughout history. Created in accordance with the old Bizen style, this piece was formed using the coil method and then shaped by scraping away the clay with a spatula. Featuring a blueish, crusty \"kase-goma\" (ash glaze) on the front and a beautifully dry, pleasant firing that showcases a gradation of colors from amber to reddish-brown, this is a superb sake bottle that packs the charm of earthen pottery into a modest form. It is a work that perfectly captures the essence of Bizen as a form of pottery rooted in the earth, offering the joy of nurturing a piece of the earth that has been carved out and brought into your home.\n\nPaper box\u003cbr\u003e\nRim diameter 3.5cm x Body diameter 8.0cm x Body diameter 7.9cm x Height 11.0cm; Capacity approx. 180cc\n\nShusaku Taku was born in 1980 as the eldest son of Mamoru Taku.
