The details

About this piece

A tokkuri is the small bottle sake is poured from, served cold or warmed. Its narrow neck makes for a gentle, controlled pour, and its shape is half of the ritual.

The material

Porcelain is fired at a very high temperature until the clay turns dense, hard and smooth. It is thin for its strength, takes bright colour and fine painting well, and rings clearly when tapped.

Its character

Glazes and decoration vary slightly from piece to piece, so yours may differ a little from the photograph. That is part of how ceramics are made.

It belongs to the Imari (伊万里) tradition. See where it comes from.

Our story

The fire of stone

Ishi no KA means “the fire of stone”: the place where raw earth meets heat and becomes something lasting.

We choose each piece in Tokyo, working with kilns and workshops across Japan, and we keep their small natural variations, because imperfection is the mark of a human hand.
