{"product_id":"p2715","title":"Bizen black sake bottle","description":"This is a black sake bottle by Masao Akitani, an artist who studied under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and creates works brimming with unique originality within a new spirit. The \"nagare-goma\" (flowing sesame glaze), a characteristic feature of this particular kiln firing, creates a fantastical atmosphere, as if gold leaf were floating in running water. The slightly glossy black surface is also beautiful, further accentuating the distinctive hue of the sesame glaze. A vivid cobalt blue has emerged on the rim, allowing the viewer to fully enjoy the blue that has been born from the black landscape of the piece.\n\nSigned wooden box (double-slat lid)\u003cbr\u003e\nRim 4.8cm × Body diameter 9.3cm × Body diameter 9.2cm × Height 13.3cm　Capacity approx. 280cc\n\nMasao Akitani was born in Saitama in 1968.
