Beschreibung

Featuring the distinctive “nami-yu” glaze, which is made from the ashes of the Kyoto forest, this pair of sake cups has a natural base color of yellowish cream-white. 

The paintwork is done by individual Japanese-style painters, pursuing their own originality and depth beyond the expectations of a mere decoration. This particular piece presents the deities of "Fujin Raijin" (Wind God and Thunder God). Not only are they deities of the supernatural, but they are also believed to be the attendants of the wise Buddha. The Wind God is riding his cloud, carrying a cloth which lets him control the wind at his own will, and the Thunder God holds a ring of drums. 

The technique of painting directly on a bisqued plate requires unique skill as paint is quickly absorbed by the clay surface. The art of underglaze painting uses more restrained colors of blue and brown, giving the piece a more subdued impression. 

This item comes with a wooden box made of paulownia tree, making it an ideal gift.  The lid depicts a hand painted Wind God and Thunder God, which has its own heart-warming appeal as the dye prospers into the wooden surface.
