Yunomi Japanese Teacups
Yunomi are a kind of vertical, cylindrical teacup. They are typically used for casual tea times. Because of the large capacity of a yunomi, the area where the tea touches the air is small, so the tea does not get cold easily. They are also suitable for when you want to drink a lot of bancha or hojicha. In sushi restaurants, tea is traditionally served in a yunomi.
Hanazume
Hanazume is a classic Kutani ware technique in which flowers are intricately drawn across an entire surface. After the first firing, detailed floral designs are outlined with gold paint before the final firing. This decorative method, introduced by Shiro Mizuta in Kanazawa City during the Taisho period (1912 CE–1926 CE), beautifully combines vibrant flowers with elegant gold to create stunning pieces.
