Ko-Kutani primarily uses dark green, deep purple, and indigo, conveying a sense of stability and depth. Yoshidaya, on the other hand, combines bright yellow with green, resulting in a vibrant and ornate appearance. This particular bottle, crafted in the \"Hira-gata\" (flat-shaped) style—a classical vessel with a subtly curved body—and adorned with the understated colors of the Ko-Kutani style, exudes a profound and ancient elegance. For collectors aiming to complete a set of different styles within the same theme, the Ko-Kutani version is an indispensable piece, which is why it stands out among the Hibiki 21-year-old Kutani ware artistic bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePositioning of the Hibiki 21-Year-Old Pine, Bamboo, and Plum Hira-gata Bottle in the Secondary Market\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHibiki is Suntory's flagship \u003cb\u003eblended whisky\u003c\/b\u003e, not a single malt. It is crafted from malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, and grain whisky from Chita distillery. The blending process also incorporates whiskies aged in ex-umeshu (plum wine) casks, lending the spirit a smooth, fruity, and sweet character. The high-aged Kutani ware artistic bottles, featuring traditional Japanese painting as their medium, are categorized by theme and style. This forms a distinguished sub-collection within Hibiki collecting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 21 years of maturation allow the spirit to reach maturity while retaining its original character, making it a recognized vintage among collectors. The Ko-Kutani style pine, bamboo, and plum motif is also relatively niche in terms of painting styles, which narrows its circulation.
