saki container

tsutsumu

bottle, saki ceramic sweet sake container with bamboo sheath cover from Tokyo.

for sheer charm of texture and shape, this sake bottle would be difficult to surpass. like almost all folk pottery, it is eminently utilitarian, but it has an unmistakable beauty of its own. the bamboo sheath cover, the rough twine, and the sturdy vine handle all contribute to the primitive effect. the bottle contains sweet sake from Tokyo.
