| ca. early to mid Twentieth century 32 1/2" x 9", 81.5 cm x 23 cm A sakabukuro is a straining bag used in sake production. Crude sake, or sake lees, is poured into this bag. The sealed bag is then subjected to pressure and the sake is forced out, having been once-filtered. The bag is made of cotton which has been saturated with kaki shibu, or green persimmon tannin, and this particular bag is mended with eleven separate patches, the white one being a very nice, artful addition and a good contrast to the rest. Sakabukuro are very collectible in the West as well as in Japan. | |||||||||
