This is the word with Isezaki Koichiro and these two splendid works enclosed in the original signed wooden boxes titled Kuro Sake Tsugi and Kuro Sake Nomi (Black Sake Pourer and Black Sake Cup respectively). The granular clay is a step away from standard Bizen, but the blasting of ash gives it away. The rims seem to be worn away, as if the flames have caused them to degrade. An undulating scar like a wave seems to intimate the waves of spirits that will pour forth. ...
