A Persimmon-Glazed Akae Sake Flask (柿釉赤絵徳利)
Heisei Era (1989-2019)
About the work
A captivating persimmon-glazed sake flask (tokkuri) by Hamada Tomoo, son of Shoji Hamada’s direct lineage and a leading figure in contemporary Mashiko ware. This vessel exhibits the rich, earthy warmth of persimmon glaze combined with vivid red and green overglaze enamel in bold geometric patterns, evoking a dynamic blend of rustic elegance and playful modernity.
The compact, rounded form is balanced by a gently flaring neck, making it both visually engaging and functionally ideal for pouring sake. This piece is accompanied by a tomobako and a leaflet about the artist.
