Lacquer Bamboo Sake Service Set

$380.00

A three-piece, bamboo sake set made by Takano Chikko, a bamboo-focused artisan in Nagaokakyo, Kyoto. This pitcher and cup set is created using a meticulous, multi-step process designed to reveal the unique qualities and characters of bamboo. A Suriurushi technique is used for the semi-gloss black exteriors, and the interiors are built up by layering tin powder and lacquer, creating a luminous glow from within. Lightweight, but sturdy for regular use, this delicately beautiful sake set keeps cool sake cool and hot sake hot.

良質の真竹の皮を削り、木目を生かして丹念に仕上げた摺り漆の艶やかさと錫蒔地の繊細な煌めきが華やかな格調高い竹のピッチャーとカップのセットです。軽く丈夫で、熱い液体を入れても磁器や陶器のように手元が熱くならず、保温性にも優れおり、ホットでもアイスでもお使いいただけます。

蒔地というのは、漆が乾く前に砥の粉などの粉末をかけて付着させ、ざらりとした質感に仕上げる手法です。錫蒔地の場合はこの粉末に金属の錫粉を用いているため、メタリックな質感となります。この錫粉の上から更に漆を摺りこんでいるため、錫自体は銀色ですが、上からの漆の茶色が重なり金とも銀とも異なる落ち着きのある光沢が生まれます。
