Tokkuri-Sake Flask-Vase / Bizen / Bizen / Fujiwara Kei
Bizen Tokkuri by National Treasure Fujiwara Kei
Bizen's second Living National Treasure was Fujiwara Kei(1899-1983); he was named a LNT in 1970. His love for sake is well-known and thus he made some of the finest sake vessels of the 20th century. Here is one of his finest yohen fired tokkuri-sake flasks ever; lovely range of tonality change and natural ash-glazing. In perfect condition with a signed box and an outer lacquer box--that's how much Fujiwara liked this one too. Signed on side, 13.2cm.tall, perfect condition and dates to his later years.
