Tokkuri

This is a typical sake bottle and is also a little old (I guess it is over 60 years old) one from my wife's parents'. I sketched this after drinking sake... the out line shows that I was drunk? Sketched on the 7th of February, 2010. #92 of the book.

Kayoi-dokkuri

tokkuri100105

This is a ceramic bottle for Japanese liquor (sake) called "Tokkuri". I don't know how old it is but I'm sure it's older than 80 years. People carried this kind of containers to a liquor shop to buy sake (not only sake but oils, soy sauces and other liquids). Traditional Japanese life is such a waste-free life. I sketched this on the 5th of January, 2010. #91 of the book.
