OJIGI TOKURI Self-Tilting Sake Bottle
Shoko Kawata, Kazuki Takenouchi


OJIGI TOKURI can tell the remaining quantity of sake inside by changing its tilting position, while remaining sake is invisible in a traditional one made of opaque china. This unique behavior of the tilting is generated by its computationally optimized asymmetrical inner configuration, which changes the center of gravity with a decrease of sake with holding a stable tilting position in 4 steps. Moderate movement to the next stable position is given by double curved surface patches. Elegant openwork and deep extrude cut figured with cherry blossoms implicitly show the mechanism of tilting

Digital Modeling Contest Works (Web 3D)
We have set up a gallery of historic prizes and award-wining works in past Digital Modeling Contests. Some of these works can be viewed in 3D virtual spaces using Web 3D technology "XVL Technology".
