This sake set is reminiscent of a colorfully Nishijin-ori Kimono, gold and silver and red on a base color of hemp by Ajiki Jun enclosed in their original signed wooden boxes titled Shio-Yu Basara Tokkuri and Guinomi respectively. Basara is a term in Japanese aesthetics associated with the challenge of traditional ideals during the Muromachi period. It is also the name of a style of contemporary and colorful dance which is quite powerful and is associated with the 12 powerful warrior guardians of Buddhism (Basara, Sanskrit Vajra) among other things. The word itself invokes a powerful image.

Jun was born in Izumo Shimane Prefecture, son of Ajiki Hiro in 1982, making him one of the younger artists we have offered. Although of course growing up surrounded in pottery, he began apprenticing in earnest under his father in 2004. Since his works have been exhibited widely, both domestically and abroad.
