Thank you for viewing. Tokkuri (Sake Bottle) and Guinomi (Sake Cup) Set, with Original Box, by Asakura Isokichi (father and son) - Prototype Production and Supervision, Kutani Ware The item appears to be in good condition. The item was wrapped in thin paper and yellow cloth and stored in the box. The original box has scratches and writing on it. As it was a gift, I do not know the details such as the purchase date. Please check the images for details such as the size of the item. * We do not sell the contents separately. This is a prototype and supervised work by Mr. Asakura Isokichi, a member of the Japan Art Academy, and his sons, Mr. Yoshinari and Mr. Masahiro. Asakura Isokichi, who brought a new breeze to Kutani ware, a traditional craft, received the Order of Culture in 1996. He had been applying to the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition) for many years, and eventually became a judge himself, judging the works of young artists. Asakura Isokichi was also appointed as a member of the Japan Art Academy, which was a first in the ceramic art world and was widely reported in the media. This achievement seems to be the result of Asakura Isokichi's "strong commitment," who applied not only the painting but also the molding with his own hands. The subtle color that mixes "yellow and brown," which often appears in Asakura Isokichi's representative works, is called "Isokichi color" and is passed down to contemporary ceramic artists. ☆ We are looking forward to your purchase if you understand that this is a long-term storage item or a used item. ☆ There may be oversight of scratches and stains.
