This pairing fully showcases the harmonious blend of modernity and tradition.

The Hirota Taisho Roman Edo Glass Japanese Teacup utilizes the aburidashi technique to create soft milky white patterns on its clear glass surface.

Negoro Yamanaka Lacquerware Two Tiers Jubako Bento Box

This octagonal Jubako Bento box, ideal for two people, showcases traditional Yamanaka lacquerware techniques. The nuno-bari method covers the surface with a cloth to enhance strength and texture. At the same time, the suri-urushi finish reveals black lacquer beneath the vermilion, creating a dynamic red-black balance that evolves over time. The dividers ensure an attractive presentation and prevent flavors from mixing. Versatile and stylish, it can be used as a single tier or stacked, wrapped in a furoshiki for easy transport, or as elegant tableware to serve snacks, sushi, and sweets. It also doubles beautifully as a jewelry box or decorative container.
