Description

This soba choko cup, used as a dipping bowl when eating soba, comes with a small condiment plate that is used to put finely cut spring onions and wasabi for the dipping sauce. The plate can also be used as a lid or a coaster as well.

The finely painted design on the cup and the plate is a checkered pattern, known as "Ichimatsu." Its design of squares and rectangles arranged in a simple grid pattern is known as an auspicious pattern with the meanings of "eternity," "development," and "prosperity" because of its uninterrupted and endless image.

Although made for Japanese soba, this cup can also be used for desserts such as puddings or ice cream. As it comes with a lid, you can use it to drink hot Japanese tea or to make Japanese style steamed egg custard chawanmushi or to drink sake. Small portions of nuts or dry snacks can also be put into the cup and be placed on a side table.

Maker / Brand / Series

Arita Porcelain Lab is a brand/company revived by the seventh generation Yazaemon as a successor to the long-established Arita porcelain kiln established in 1804. To make Arita porcelain a global brand, the company has been working to create modern Arita porcelain that is in tune with modern lifestyles while incorporating the more than 200 years of traditions.

The Japan series is a representative series of Arita Porcelain Lab's products that maintains the traditional style of Arita porcelain while modernizing the color scheme.

The unprecedented paints created by Yazaemon kiln's exclusive techniques are brushed on one by one by skilled craftsmen to create a variety of colors and textures inspired by scenes of the four seasons in Japan. The shading of the brush that appears on the surface creates an elegance that cannot be imitated elsewhere.

The design uses the traditional Arita ware "kissho" pattern, which has been considered auspicious since ancient times, as it is, and expresses it in a modern way by changing the color scheme. The kissho pattern has been widely used in Arita ware by the potters of the past, who wished to enrich the lives of those who used the porcelain in both material and spiritual aspects.
