This ceramic Japanese tea set features beautiful mountains on pristine porcelain. The raised texture and gradual pale colors represent sunrise and sunset, beautifully expressing hazy mountains in a fog or sunset glow. The teapot and teacups are decorated with gold leaf for a delicate and luxurious design.
The gold color shown on Kutani ware is called kinsai, one of the iconic signatures of Kutani ware. The brightening gold is created by artisan works, using the gold leaf (kinpaku), which is known as a special product of Ishikawa Prefecture.
The type of tea strainer of this teapot is called sasame and is attached directly to the inside of the teapot. This allows the tea leaves to circulate easily inside the pot, making the tea more fragrant. This is especially suitable for drinking high-quality Japanese tea.
This set is perfect for special occasions when enjoying Japanese tea with your family and guests, and also an extraordinary gift for those who love Japanese culture.
This tea set, made by Japanese artisans using the traditional techniques of Kutani ware, is a design that will never go out of style and can be used for years to come.

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.
