This Edo period Tokkuri (sake flask) features a beautifully rendered scene of a pavilion along a mountain pathway. The expressive strokes of iron oxide conveys the overall effect of the sudden discovery of a pavilion along a forest path. In the background, a mountain range with a beckoning waterfall looms, inviting the viewer to explore further. The vertical composition of this scene evokes the strength and grace characteristic of mountain landscapes commonly depicted on Edo period hanging scrolls.
