The unique Japanese teacup features lovely cherry blossoms against a Turkish blue sky. The shape of the flower is outlined by the red pen tip, with the part near the stamen gradually fading from inside to outside into a lighter shade of pink. With its distinctive shape, it suggests the beauty of spring and nature.

Kokuzou Kiln, known for gentle and warm stoneware with beautiful colors and elegant design, continue to create everyday tableware into something more special. This craftsmanship, known as Kutani ware, has been highly popular since the Meiji era (1868 CE – 1912 CE), both domestically and internationally.

This uniquely round shape is not only charming but also easy to use. It fits well in the hand as skilled craftsmen design and mold the shape of the stoneware by potter's wheel to match the painting.
