Kinrande
Introducing a tableware collection inspired by Kinrande style, which itself draws inspiration from old Imari ware. The Kinrande style of Imari ware gained immense popularity as export items between the 18th and 19th centuries. Large vases and plate sets were crafted especially for European royalty and nobility, and these pieces were highly valued as elegant and beautiful additions to their palaces.
The collection features luxurious gold accents, deep shades of red, and elegant blues. Many designs are densely packed with intricate patterns set within balanced, symmetrical compositions. Floral motifs, particularly those of peonies and chrysanthemums, frequently appear. Additionally, mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes are prominently depicted, symbolizing power and rebirth, respectively, and adding an auspicious touch to these extravagant ceramics.
Soba Choko Cups
Soba choko cups are primarily designed to hold dipping broth accompanying soba, but they are also used for drinking tea and sake. Soba choko on the larger side are similar in size to yunomi cups, making them just right for casual tea drinking, while those on the smaller side are closer to guinomi cups, perfect for elegant sips of sake.
Regardless of how you use them, the versatility and charm of a soba choko make them a stylish and convenient addition to any table.
