Description

This small guinomi sake cup has a gorgeous pattern of Aizu-e, which is perfect for drinking sake at festive occasions. When sake is poured, the painting becomes even more beautiful with its glossy reflection.

Aizu-e, the traditional design of Aizu lacquerware, is hand-painted one by one by skilled maki-e artists. The painting of the famous combination of pine tree, bamboo and plum is considered as auspicious motif in Japan, bringing good luck and longevity. Also, there are paintings of ceremonial arrow and spinning wheel, both are considered as a signature motif of Aizu lacquerware.

The decoration is done by hand, using brushes and cotton buds for painting, so each piece is finished differently. This is the reason why some of the gold paintings are blurred and some paints are pooled, but we hope you enjoy it as the charm of handmade products.

Maker / Brand / Series

Fukunishi-Sobe Shoten was started by taking over the lacquerware division from the main family, which had been in existence for 13 generations since the early Edo period. They have developed their products over time by figuring out "what must not be changed and what must be changed". In addition to the lacquering technique that makes the most of the moist luster of lacquerware, the company has handed down the unique decorative techniques of Aizu, such as Aizu-e painting with motifs of pine, bamboo, plum, and ceremonial arrow, and the spinning wheel. Fukunishi Sobe's lacquerware flexibly incorporates modern industrial technology, and is a special product that has a high artistic value as well as an aspect of being daily use items with which long-time use gives an additional charm.
