Tokusa Sorisencha Japanese Teacup
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This teacup is designed with a tokusa pattern drawn by hand with a broom-like brush to make the thin blue lines centered in the middle of the cup.
Sorisencha is a word unique to the Hasami area used to describe teacups. "Sori" means that the mouth of the cup has an outward rim, and "sencha" is a local Hasami expression used to describe short teacups with a wide opening.
This cup is light and easy to hold. And the thin porcelain with the outward rim gives a comforting touch to the mouth.

Crafts
Hasami ware is a traditional Japanese ceramic produced in Hasami Town, often called the "Town of Pottery," located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu. For over 400 years, it has been cherished as durable and practical tableware for everyday use.
It is known for its vibrant designs painted on a pure white porcelain base—an iconic feature of Japanese porcelain. While Hasami ware continues to honor traditional patterns, artisans are constantly creating new designs that suit contemporary lifestyles, blending timeless beauty with modern functionality.

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.
