Four Seasons Color Ochoko Sake Cup

These Ochoko sake cups capture the light of the changing seasons, with four colors reminiscent of spring when yellow flowers bloom, summer when green grows, autumn when red colored leaves shine, and winter when the stars twinkle in the midnight blue sky. It is perfect for use as a key feature for the table setting with a seasonal feel.

It can be used not only as an Ochoko sake cup, but also as a teacup for drinking cold tea like Gyokuro green tea, or as a tiny "Mamebachi" bowl. 

It can also be used in combination with this sauce plate from the same series for a more beautiful and high-quality table setting.

This piece is a perfect gift or for home use.

Hirota Glass

When Hirota Glass was founded, Japan was in the Meiji Era (1868 CE–1912 CE), a time marked by the Industrial Revolution and increasing Westernization of the townscapes.

During this era, Japanese and Western arts, crafts, architecture, and designs began to blend. By the Taisho Era (1912 CE–1926 CE), this fusion gave rise to "Taisho Romanticism," a unique aesthetic style of the time.

In 2002, Hirota Tatsuo, the third director of Hirota Glass, began reviving the classic glassware styles popular during the Taisho Era. Today, the exotic charm of Taisho Romanticism continues to be reflected in Hirota Glass's creations.

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is also a center of craftsmanship. Among them, Edo Glass and Edo Kiriko are traditional Japanese Glassware that have been handed down for about 200 years in Edo City, the old name for the central area of Tokyo.

These beautifully shining glasswares have been refined in Japan's largest consumer city, carrying on the good old Japanese tradition into the modern age.
