Fukunishi Sobe Red Chrysanthemum Aizu Lacquerware Guinomi Sake Cup

JPY ¥24,000

Only 2 pieces in stock!

This small Guinomi Sake cup has a relatively shallow shape. The gorgeous chrysanthemum pattern and vermillion color are beautiful and perfect for drinking sake at festive occasions. When sake is poured, the painting becomes even more beautiful with its glossy reflection.

Aizu-e, the traditional design of Aizu lacquerware, is hand-painted one by one by skilled maki-e artists. The painting of the chrysanthemum flower is considered as auspicious motif in Japan, warding off disease and bringing longevity.

The decoration is done by hand, using brushes and cotton buds for painting, so each piece is finished differently. This is the reason why some of the gold paintings are blurred and some paints are pooled, but we hope you enjoy it as the charm of handmade products.

Its timeless traditional design is suitable for long-term use, daily use or when entertaining guests.

ABOUT FUKUNISHI SOBE

Fukunishi-Sobei Shoten was started by taking over the lacquerware division from the main family, which had been in existence for 13 generations since the early Edo period. They have developed their products over time by figuring out "what must not be changed and what must be changed". In addition to the lacquering technique that makes the most of the moist luster of lacquerware, the company has handed down the unique decorative techniques of Aizu, such as Aizu-e painting with motifs of pine, bamboo, plum, and ceremonial arrow, and the spinning wheel. Fukunishi Soubei's lacquerware flexibly incorporates modern industrial technology, and is a special product that has a high artistic value as well as an aspect of being daily use items with which long-time use gives an additional charm.
