This cute cup features a happy pig jumping around in the grass with flowers. The pig is a symbol of happiness, wealth, and prosperity in Japan. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened.
The shape is crafted by a potter's wheel and you can feel the warmth and comfort of holding it in your hand. Not only drinking tea or coffee, it is also perfect for use in soups, yogurt, ice cream, and many other dishes. Furthermore, put a small portion of food or containments in, place it on a larger plate or into a bento box for more stylish and sophisticated food presentation.

Soba Choko Cups
Soba choko cups are primarily designed to hold dipping broth accompanying soba, but they are also used for drinking tea and sake. Soba choko on the larger side are similar in size to yunomi cups, making them just right for casual tea drinking, while those on the smaller side are closer to guinomi cups, perfect for elegant sips of sake.
Regardless of how you use them, the versatility and charm of a soba choko make them a stylish and convenient addition to any table.
Green
Green tableware, embodying tranquility, hope, and vitality, captures the essence of all seasons, from spring's fresh hues to winter's deep tones, enhancing dining with a feel of renewal and relaxation.
Over the centuries, Japan has seamlessly blended this shade into its cultural tapestry. Since the Heian period (794 CE–1158 CE), the vibrant wakakusa iro, a radiant yellow-green color, has been celebrated for capturing the essence of young grass in early spring. Refreshing spring grass greens bring a vernal ambiance to the table. You also can find green shades including shimmering emerald, deep jade, a whole range of delightfully natural leaf greens.
