The yellow ground carries green arabesque scrollwork and hosoge in relief — each motif placed with the deliberateness of a house that has served the tea world for generations. The silver-mounted rims have developed a quiet patina that speaks of time in use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ BASIC DETAILS ]\u003cbr\u003e- Artist\/Maker: 大日本永楽造 (Eiraku House, Senke Jissoku)\u003cbr\u003e- Title: 交趾酒瓶 一雙 (Kochi-Yaki Sake Bottles, Pair)\u003cbr\u003e- Dimensions: H. approx. 12 cm, Diameter approx. 6.2 cm each\u003cbr\u003e- Condition: Both bottles in matching condition; silver rim mounts showing natural age patina\u003cbr\u003e- Comes with: Tomobako (signed wooden storage box)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Cultural Insight —\u003cbr\u003eThe Eiraku house occupies a singular position in Japanese ceramic history. As one of the Senke Jissoku — the ten craftsmen families who have served the three Sen schools of tea ceremony across centuries — their output carries institutional weight that transcends individual authorship. Kochi-yaki (交趾焼) refers to the polychrome lead-glazed stoneware tradition that entered Japan via the Ryukyu Kingdom, characterized by vivid ground colors and raised relief decoration in contrasting hues.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hosoge motif — the idealized \"treasure flower\" derived from Tang dynasty Chinese design — appears throughout Eiraku kochi-yaki as a symbol of auspiciousness. Its combination with arabesque scrollwork (karakusa) reflects the synthesis of continental aesthetics that defined the Eiraku aesthetic across the Edo and Meiji periods.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Deep-Dive Observation —\u003cbr\u003eWhat holds attention here is the precision of the relief work against the yellow ground. The green karakusa scrolls are not applied flatly — they rise from the surface with an assurance that comes from a house long practiced in this technique. Purple accents at the base and lip create a chromatic boundary that gives each bottle a sense of vertical resolution. The silver mounts at each rim have taken on a warmth of tone rather than the brightness of new metal, which is as it should be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a ichisoう (pair), these bottles present a completeness that single pieces cannot. The matching condition of both — the alignment of their surface patina, the correspondence of their forms — indicates that they have remained together since leaving the kiln. The tomobako holds that fact in evidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ SHIPPING \u0026amp; PACKAGING ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dispatch: Within 1-6 business days\u003cbr\u003e• Carrier: Japan Post EMS \/ UPS (with tracking)\u003cbr\u003e• Packaging: Carefully wrapped with protective materials\u003cbr\u003e• Insurance: Included for all shipments\u003cbr\u003e• Note: Import duties and taxes may apply depending on your country's regulations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e永楽家（千家十職）による交趾焼酒瓶の一雙（ペア）です。黄地に緑の唐草文と宝相華が浮彫で施され、口縁部には純銀張りが経年の味わいを帯びています。交趾焼は琉球王国を経由して日本に伝来した鮮やかな多彩釉陶磁の伝統であり、永楽家はその技法を千家の茶の湯に奉じてきた家格をもちます。二器の状態が揃って保存されており、共箱付きで伝来の確かさを示しています。","brand":"The Modern Zen Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61627496300914,"sku":"260228_a_2206","price":1873.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m23126728655_1.jpg?v=1772377888","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/eiraku-house-kochi-yaki-sake-bottles-pair-silver-mounted-rims-senke-jissoku-tomobako","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
