Tokusa Yunomi Japanese Teacup 6.1 fl oz

This is a standard-sized Japanese teacup. Thin and light, it is easy to hold and perfect for daily use with its classic tokusa pattern. The dimpled part at the top makes it easy to hold and does not feel hot.

Beloved since the Edo period (1603–1868 CE), this pattern of straight vertical lines is inspired by the Japanese plant tokusa, known in English as rough horsetail. It is regarded as a symbol of growth and prosperity as it grows unwaveringly upwards.

Match with the teapot in the same tokusa pattern to create a thoughtful set—perfect for quiet evenings enjoying Japanese tea.
