Yunomi Japanese Teacups
Yunomi are a kind of vertical, cylindrical teacup. They are typically used for casual tea times. Because of the large capacity of a yunomi, the area where the tea touches the air is small, so the tea does not get cold easily. They are also suitable for when you want to drink a lot of bancha or hojicha. In sushi restaurants, tea is traditionally served in a yunomi.
Cool Off With Shades of Blue
Bring Japanese hues into your space this summer with tableware and decor in shades of blue. Featuring minimalist geometric patterns, modern styles, and intricately painted designs, the items in this collection are sure to introduce a little extra zing to your late-summer table.
One of the most classic Japanese blues is cobalt: a rich, bold color that works as well as a statement piece as it does as a backdrop for food or a canvas for detail. You will often find cobalt blues contrasted with pure white, a timeless pairing known in Japanese as sometsuke. Another favorite is navy blue, a sophisticated color seen throughout Japanese art. Adding navy is a great way to ground a table. Last but not least is mizu-iro, literally “water blue,” a pale aqua that suggests the refreshing coolness of the ocean.
So, embrace the rich palette of blue and rejuvenate your final weeks of summer.
