Description
This is an earlier work by Yoshiteru Takariki, a Bizen Sakazuki created around ten years ago. Inspired by the massive drinking vessels once favored by ancient Japanese warriors, this piece is a bold and powerful expression of traditional aesthetics.
With a diameter of approximately 11 cm, the Sakazuki exudes an impressive and commanding presence. However, rather than being ostentatious, the subdued elegance brought by Kase-Goma and Yohen effects softens the intensity, giving the piece a refined and dignified air.
Due to the sheer size of the form, a certain degree of structural rigidity was required from the clay. As a result, a significant proportion of mountain clay (yamatsuchi) was used, producing a deep, rich Hidasuki hue that seems to emerge from within the clay body itself.
The vivid coloration, which enhances the visual appeal of sake, also evokes a profound sense of beauty—like the fleeting brilliance of life—set against a backdrop of robust, flame-hardened textures. It is a poetic and emotionally charged landscape.
The powerful form, reminiscent of armored warriors, is imbued with passionate Hidasuki reds and a tinge of melancholic beauty, like the last light of a setting sun. This piece would pair wonderfully with rich nigori sake.
This work remains in unused condition, carefully preserved in its original state since purchase.
