Nishiki Katakuchi Sake Carafe
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This is a sake carafe that is quite rare as a lacquerware, featuring a metallic feel achieved through a mixture of black and silver colors. The round lid and elegant shine evoke the image of a moonlit night, while the striking jet-black color of the spout provides an appealing contrast of textures.
The form of the pouring spout was the artist's foremost focus when creating this piece. They meticulously carved and shaped it, observing from a distance and checking the lines to confirm. This process was repeated multiple times to transform each piece into a unique and distinctive work of art.
In addition to its functional aspect of facilitating easy pouring, the lid also helps to preserve and contain the aroma. Since Japanese sake can undergo changes in smell and taste when exposed to air, it is suitable for enjoying delicate fragrances when drinking sake.

Crafts
In the late Edo period (1603–1868 CE), Tamakaji Zokoku set out to research lacquerware techniques from Thailand and China, such as kinma and zonsei. By combining traditional Japanese methods with these new ones, he was able to develop unique lacquerware works. Today the main production area of these pieces, collectively known as Kagawa Lacquerware, is Takamatsu City in Kagawa Prefecture.
