Thoughts in blue flower

The colorful image of blue “gosu” pigment appears like a splash of water droplets frozen in time, or a field of blue flowers in bloom, while the careful brushstrokes, lovingly applied one by one, give a sense of the true heart and soul of Japan handed down over the centuries. The top of the bottle itself opens up like a blooming flower, allowing one to compactly stack the sake cups in a lovely way.
