{"product_id":"p4901","title":"Bizen Tokkuri (Sake Set)","description":"This Bizen sake flask (sake set) is by Mamoru Shibaoka, who was born in Imbe as the second son of Kazumi Shibaoka and pursues the kiln-altered variations characteristic of unglazed pottery. This set features the gold-colored scarlet-cord (*hidasuki*) markings that are Shibaoka-sensei's specialty. The entire vessel appears as if coated in a thin layer of platinum, with scarlet cords that shimmer like copper against a blue-silver surface. Despite the striking kiln-altered appearance, the vessel itself follows an orthodox style befitting a veteran artist, allowing one to slowly enjoy sake with the beautiful gold coloring as an accompaniment.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nSake flask: Rim 3.7cm x Body diameter 9.1cm x Body diameter 9.1cm x Height 14.0cm, Capacity approx. 410cc\u003cbr\u003e\nSake cup: Diameter 6.3cm x Diameter 6.3cm x Height 5.5cm\n\nMamoru Shibaoka was born in Imbe in 1952 as the second son of Kazumi Shibaoka.
