Handmade with expert craftsmanship in Hirashimizu Village, Yamagata Prefecture, this rustic porcelain sake bottle (tokkuri) is crafted using iron-rich soil found in the local area. During firing, red pine ash is added to the clay, producing a beautiful matt glaze that resembles the skin of a pear, with shades of blue and dull copper-red. The artisans behind this tokkuri have over 200 years of pottery-making heritage, and each bottle is crafted with a focus on craftsmanship rather than artistry, making it perfect for everyday use.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each piece will differ slightly.

Tōhoku

東北

Tōhoku consists of six prefectures located in the north-east of Honshu island. This region is known for its hot spring (onsen) resorts, colourful festivals, remote sacred mountains and harsh winters. In 2011, the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the region hard; however, the massive efforts in reconstruction are proof of the people’s resilience. Urushi (lacquer) ware, ironware and the crafting of kokeshi dolls make up but a few of the local industries in this lesser-visited region of Japan.
