Maker / Brand / Series

Hanasaka is a brand of tableware that focuses on the premium clay and production area of Kutani ware. The name Hanasaka is derived from Hanasaka pottery stone, the raw material of Kutani ware.

Currently, there are only a few mines where Hanasaka pottery stone can be quarried, and while Kutani ware is widely known, such a situation is hardly known. The hard pottery stone becomes Kutani clay after crushing, refining, controlling the particle size, mixing according to the purpose, and kneading.

This item is from the Blanc series, which means "white" in French. It is created by Taniguchi Seidojo, one of the companies which are dealing premium Kutani ware clay.

Ochoko Sake Cups

Ochoko is a relatively small sake cup, typically holding more liquid than a sakazuki, with a capacity of 2-3 sips. Originally, ochoko was used as a kobachi "small bowl," but it is said to have transitioned into a sake cup during parties in the mid-Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE).
