Final Price Reduction: Kazuo Yamada, Master Tokuro Kato, Flame Dance Shino Sake Bottle

This is a sake flask by the highly popular artist, Kazushi Yamada.

I won it in an auction several years ago from 〇庵, a store specializing in high-end ceramics on 〇フオク.
Although I cannot be certain without the original box, it is believed to be his representative technique, Enbu Shino.
As it is the work of a popular artist's signature style, it is a superb piece that needs no further explanation.
There is one pinhole, likely caused by impurities in the clay during firing, but it does not go all the way through and will not affect its use. (Please refer to the 5th photo.)

Considering the kiln mark of the pinhole, the price has been significantly discounted from the purchase price. Please consider it.
