Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
Thank you all for the wonderful response to Yoshiteru Kōriki’s exhibition of exquisite sake bottles (tokkuri).
We have already received a kind email and photos from a customer who purchased one.
They mentioned that they enjoyed using the exquisite sake bottle in combination with a Hidasuki sake cup purchased previously for their evening drink.
The sake vessels look happy being bathed in sake, don't they?
I fell in love at first sight with this tokkuri in the gallery because of its charming, balloon-like round shape.
When I took a closer look, I noticed a very rare, fine-textured white matte ash glaze (kase-goma) that looked almost like powdered snow.
When I asked Mr. Kōriki about it, he explained, "I believe it changed this way because the ash accumulated even more thickly than usual."
Such rare kiln results, which can only be achieved in a specific firing, are truly precious. I am very happy that this piece found a good home and that the customer is pleased with it.

I was drawn to this tokkuri for its charming, balloon-like round shape, but it also has a rare, whitish matte finish that I had never seen before.
When I asked Mr. Kōriki about it, he said, "It was caused by thick ash accumulation."
Such rare kiln effects are precious, and I am delighted that the customer is pleased and that this was a wonderful encounter. Thank you all for the wonderful response to Yoshiteru Kōriki’s exhibition of exquisite sake bottles.
