On a gorgeous golden base coat are the five colors blue, green, orange, red and white in stripes which resemble a water fall. With this Japanese stripe pattern called "takijima" in the background, the kanji character "Iwai" is depicted in the center, surrounded by illustrations of the auspicious "shochikubai" (pine, bamboo and plum) and cherry blossoms.
Japanese motifs are included in simple illustrations, making the design rather nostalgic yet fresh at the same time.
Sizes vary from S size (40 cm in diameter, 40 cm in height) appropriate for an event of around 20 people, to the massive L size (holding 1 "to", a traditional unit of volume of 18 liters, 60 cm in diameter, 60 cm in height) which is often used in shrines and restaurants; you can choose from large, medium and small depending on the capacity of the group.
The "kagami biraki" (sake-barrel ceremony) involves breaking open a "komodaru" (straw-mat barrel) with a wooden mallet all together at the same time. It is a performance which can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages and is essential for celebrating new beginnings such as weddings, new store openings, entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies.
A "komodaru" will be delivered without the lid sealed on top. The lid itself, the wooden mallet, and bamboo ladle will be included as part of a set and so "kagami biraki" can be performed straight away with the products' arrival.
Since it will be delivered without the contents, you can pour in drinks other than sake as well.
※It can hold up to a maximum of 18 liters. If you put in 21 liters, there is the possibility that liquid might splatter when the lid is broken during the sake-barrel ceremony.
※Japanese sake is not included in the product.
