Ko-Kabura Tokkuri Sake Flask — Bizen Ware

The kabura tokkuri, a form handed down in Bizen for more than four hundred years.
Its round, full shape, like a turnip, carries a kindness that belongs to the earth, and a plain sort of charm.
Step a little away from the hurry of the day and take in with all five senses the "beauty of use" that the tea masters loved. A Bizen kabura tokkuri turns a quiet evening drink into a richer, warmer hour.
It also works as a single-stem vase. That is a different pleasure from drinking: the beginning of a quiet, unhurried conversation with nature. The mitate aesthetic the tea masters were fond of sits comfortably in a modern room as well.
