The surface of this cup features deep red, disjointed strokes that outline two flowers, filled with deep blue and pale pink hues. This color combination adds a charming elegance to the cup. The vibrant petals, in bright yellow, pale pink, and deep blue, evoke the brightness of spring, enhancing the cup's aesthetic appeal.
Upon closer examination, one can notice delicate, almost translucent, traces of pale green, giving the cup an uneven texture. These subtle green shades are the artist's interpretation of the wind - an invisible and intangible force, but through the artist's skill, it's represented with the color and texture of spring. The cup's surface, with its authentic brushstrokes, captures the fleeting and dynamic moments of flowers fluttering in the wind, reminiscent of an impressionist painting.
The size of this teacup is 320ml (10.8 oz) just right to be cradled by two hands. After a busy day's work or life's challenges, the warmth of the hot coffee slowly seeps through the rounded cup walls, spreading into the palms, and eventually, this comforting warmth flows into your heart, dispelling all weariness.
This teacup holds many more surprises within. There are inconspicuous black spots on the inside, and it is these randomly occurring dots that give the cup its unique personality. Furthermore, this teacup exhibits excellent water absorption, and over time, after repeated use for enjoying coffee or tea, the cup's interior develops subtle, varying marks, akin to the rings of a tree, recording the passage of time and the moments this cup has shared with us.

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.
