Sakura and Bird Sake Set

This sake set includes two sake cups adorned with sakura blossoms and one tokkuri (Japanese sake carafe) featuring a bird surrounded by sakura blossoms on a warm white base, creating a comforting and elegant atmosphere for your dining room or home bar.

Kutani ware is painted using Japanese overglaze pigments applied with a brush. As you can see, the painted bird and flowers are slightly thickened and stand out.

The smooth texture of stoneware feels relaxing and soft to your mouth, bringing out the rich yet delicate taste of sake.

Bizan Kiln

At Bizan Kiln, every piece is hand-painted by highly skilled artisans. The viscosity of the pigments, the choice of brushes, and the painting techniques are carefully adjusted for each design, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.

Layers of pigment are applied to achieve rich, three-dimensional surfaces, imbuing each piece with the warmth and vitality that only true handcraft can convey. The graceful balance of delicacy and boldness, expressed through vivid hues and confident brushwork, embodies the refined beauty that defines Kutani ware and lies at the heart of Bizan Kiln’s artistry.
