Description

This sakazuki sake cup creates the enchanting image of chrysanthemum flowers floating on water when filled with sake. Its thin porcelain rim feels exceptionally smooth against the lips, enhancing the delicate nuances of the sake's flavor.

The intricate chrysanthemum design is crafted using the Hirado chrysanthemum technique, a traditional method that involves forming each petal by hand. Artisans use a pointed bamboo tool to carve petals one by one from a lump of porcelain clay. After completing the first round of carving, the petals are delicately raised and arranged to form the chrysanthemum. Once glazed and fired, the petals transform from sharp, defined shapes into soft, natural-looking blooms.

Made from Amakusa ceramic stone sourced from Kumamoto, this sake cup is distinguished by its translucent white finish and subtle pearlescent texture, embodying both elegance and tradition.

Sake Cups

Blue

As a cool color, blue evokes feelings of calm, nobility, coolness, and tranquility. It is highly suitable for use in a variety of items, from everyday to celebratory.

Blue is featured prominently across Japanese art: for example, in Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave of Kanagawa. Shades like mizu iro, a pale aqua that literally means "water color," have been used frequently for summer kimonos since the Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE). Meanwhile kon, or navy blue, conveys a sense of calm and sophistication and has historically been widely used in daily life. Finally, sometsuke refers to blue and white ceramics, a classic color pairing that is always in style.
