This sake set, adorned with a delicate maple leaf motif, consists of one katakuchi sake carafe and two ochoko sake cups. The design of the sake carafe features inwardly curved edges, offering both a refined aesthetic and a comfortable grip.
Each piece is meticulously hand-painted by skilled artisans, capturing the intricate details of maple leaves, including their graceful color gradations. Additionally, delicate gold accents outline the edges, enhancing the overall design with a touch of elegance and sophistication.
The subtly contoured surfaces add a sense of movement and vitality to the hand-painted motifs. For the color application, the kiln uses its proprietary pigments and the shitae "underglaze painting" technique ensuring the vibrant decorations remain resistant to scratches and peeling.
Whether it's a festive gathering or a quiet night in, this set is the perfect way to share sake with someone special. Its timeless beauty makes it an ideal choice for a wedding gift or a thoughtful housewarming present.
