Description

This exquisite Japanese teacup features a soft, nature-inspired light green base color. At the base of the cup, artisans use underglaze painting—applying intricate colors before glazing—to depict yaezakura "double-flowered cherry blossoms," hydrangeas, sunflowers, lilies, and camellias. When in use, these beautiful flowers seem to bloom gracefully in water, offering a delightful visual experience.

The smooth texture of porcelain feels gentle on the lips, enhancing the rich yet delicate taste of Japanese green tea. This beautiful and unique teacup is sure to enrich your tea experience.

Guide for Flowers in Japanese Climate

Japanese seasons can be simply divided into four+1 seasons, and each of them is enjoyed in spring, summer, fall, winter, and rainy season called tsuyu between spring and summer. By decorating with plants and flowers that bloom in each of these seasons, or by using items with these motifs, we can express a sense of the seasons that is uniquely Japanese.

In this issue, we will introduce flowers and plants unique to each season in Japan and their meanings. Enjoy them as a reference for seasonal home decorations and gift selection.

Exploring Artistic Kyoto’s Ceramic Culture

As spring began, I made my first business trip to Kyoto with Umehara-san and Shirata-san, members of our merchandising team. The destination was Kyoto, a city with a long and storied history. Since 794, for over a thousand years, it served as the capital and flourished as the center of Japan. Shrines, temples, memorable sites, and traditions of its elegant culture still remain vividly today, captivating people from all over the world.

The primary objective of our trip was to visit the renowned ceramic artisans of Kyoto and experience the unique charm of Kyoto pottery firsthand. Although our visit did not coincide with the cherry blossom season, I felt the arrival of spring in the surrounding environment. For instance, the cherry blossom-themed decorations in the shops along the streets, people seen wearing kimonos in soft colors of spring, and the adorable golden mimosa displayed in flower shops. I was delighted to have this wonderful journey of exploring Kyoto's ceramic culture during such a beautiful season.
