Description

This Tokkuri was made by Rokuro Nakamura, who is known as a master of sake ware.
The red clay color on the front becomes even more beautiful when moistened with sake.
I believe this Tokkuri was fired when he was around 70 years old.
It is formed into a turnip-like shape and then hand-shaped into a gentle diamond shape.
This shape is his most distinctive design.
The beautiful Yohen created by the intense flames during the kiln firing is truly wonderful.
