Yōhen-kin Shino Saké Flask by Suzuki Tomio

Description

Hailing from Kyoto's Yawata District, Suzuki Tomio has reinvigorated the world of shino with his provocative clay creations of incredible tactile richness and creative energy.  Lavish applications of feldspar, deep crackles and bold brushwork are the trademarks of his craft.

This lustrous saké flask (tokkuri) is a proud display of Suzuki's unique approach to shino.  It is done in his signature yōhen-kin golden shino.  While cooling in the kiln, the glaze shrinks disproportionately faster around the claybody, forming an exquisitely crackled landscape that invites closer exploration.

For the saké connoisseur.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
