This sake carafe is inspired by the graceful silhouette of cranes and the flowing waters of the famous gorge in Yamanaka hot springs, blending both beauty and functionality.
Crafted from Betula grossa, a hardwood known for its high-class quality and excellent workability due to its elasticity, this carafe is both durable and elegant.
In addition to its use as a liquor carafe, it can also serve as a stylish interior piece, ideal for displaying flowers or as a decorative object on a shelf.
All GATOMIKIO products are crafted using the traditional woodturning technique known as kijibiki, where logs are expertly carved into products while rotating on a lathe.
