Type...Pottery Type...Sake Vessel Kiln...Tsuboya-yaki This is a white-glazed fish-motif tokkuri (sake bottle) made by Yuzo Kinjo, the grandson of the late Jiro Kinjo, the only Living National Treasure in the Okinawan pottery world, and the son of Toshiaki Kinjo. After being formed from red clay with a high iron content, it is divided with white slip, and the fish design is carved with a nail while it is still half-dry. Furthermore, Gosu (blue) and Ame-yu (brown) glazes are applied. This is a rare, one-of-a-kind item, entirely handmade. This is a rare item (Yachimun) fired in a climbing kiln. The shop owner personally went to the kiln to select this exquisite piece, so please take this opportunity to purchase it. Mr. Toshiaki has already passed away, and Yuzo Kinjo has inherited the Jiro Kinjo workshop that Mr. Jiro used in the past. He strongly inherits the pottery techniques of Mr. Jiro and Mr. Toshiaki.
