This is a sake carafe that is quite rare as a lacquerware, featuring a metallic feel achieved through a mixture of black and silver colors. The round lid and elegant shine evoke the image of a moonlit night, while the striking jet-black color of the spout provides an appealing contrast of textures.

The form of the pouring spout was the artist's foremost focus when creating this piece. They meticulously carved and shaped it, observing from a distance and checking the lines to confirm. This process was repeated multiple times to transform each piece into a unique and distinctive work of art.

In addition to its functional aspect of facilitating easy pouring, the lid also helps to preserve and contain the aroma. Since Japanese sake can undergo changes in smell and taste when exposed to air, it is suitable for enjoying delicate fragrances when drinking sake.
