Yoshita Kasho Green Dragon Maki-e Glass Sake Cup
This exceptional piece of glassware from Yoshita Kasho is now adorned with a vibrant and energetic miniature painting of a green dragon, offering a brave and powerful impression. Perfectly suited for the year of the dragon, this design imbues a sense of strength and auspiciousness.
The glass sake cup, coated in transparent lacquer, showcases an uneven brushed layer. This technique creates a lavish and varied reflection, adding depth and movement to the green dragon motif at the base. The depiction of the dragon is not just dynamic but also intricate, capturing the majestic essence of this legendary creature in a compact yet striking form.
Hand-painted with meticulous care, the green dragon is protected under a layer of glass, allowing you to appreciate the art without concern for scratches. Crafted in Aomori prefecture by Tsugaru Vidro, known for their long-standing tradition in glassware.
The Yoshita Kasho Green Dragon Maki-e Glass Sake Cup is not only a symbol of power and good fortune but also a testament to the artistry of Japanese lacquer and glassware. It serves as a remarkable addition to any home bar, especially during the year of the dragon, believed to bring luck and prosperity. This exquisite sake cup also makes for an extraordinary gift, presented in a chic box adorned with the Yoshita Kasho logo, celebrating both tradition and modern craftsmanship.
