The grain of the plain wood and the dull, shiny silver brass are contrasting in weight and texture, but are boldly combined to create a delicate silhouette.

The wooden cup is made by Yamanaka lacquerware craftsmen, a traditional handicraft of Ishikawa Prefecture, using the thinnest wood cutting technique in Japan. Natural wood used for this product has individual differences in grain and color shading, which we hope you will enjoy as a natural texture.

The proportions are small and stable, as if a tuft of bamboo had been cut out. The soft mouthfeel created by very thin and smooth rim and pleasant weight stimulate the senses beyond the sense of taste.

It is also recommended as a small bowl for serving food or a seasonal condiment container. The design has a strong presence, and will add a touch of elegance to your table coordination.

Kisen is a brand produced by Yotsukawa Seisakusho, a manufacturer of Takaoka copperware, a craft that has continued for 400 years in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, Japan. The company has created a number of ingeniously designed, beautiful, and highly practical products using a unique technique that combines the excellence of Takaoka copperware production with Yamanaka lacquerware craftsmanship. In addition to their ease of use, the beauty of their appearance is like that of modern sculpture.
