A striking sake set by Okushima Keiji consisting of a glass Tokkuri embedded and a glass Guinomi sake cup mixed with porcelain and lacquered inside with silver leaf, each enclosed in their original signed wooden boxes.

Exceedingly rare hard porcelain dish from arita. Painted in yellow, green, blue and red enamels. The decor represents many children, seated in a building in front of a covered vase, perhaps a funerary urn. Dominating the assembly, the central character of a trio is the only one wearing a hat. Above the trio three Chinese characters are drawn in red on a panel. It seems to be a religious ceremony but the youth of the assembly is perplexing. Understanding the 3 characters should solve the enigma...
