This exquisite teacup, made from Hasami ware, boasts a size so compact it can easily be concealed within the palm of a hand. The cup's edge is finely crafted, featuring a subtle curve that offers a comfortable sensation to the lips.

What sets this small teacup apart is, undoubtedly, the seigaiha wave pattern that adorns both the outside and the entire inside surface. A golden depiction of Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms on the bottom of the cup adds a delightful touch to the tea-drinking experience.

The seigaiha pattern symbolizes good fortune, with its spreading ripples representing the expansion of good relationships. The depiction of Mount Fuji, spreading from the peak to the base, is also said to symbolize expanding connections, and when combined with the Seigaiha pattern, it signifies that the teacup as a whole represents auspiciousness.

This teacup's small size makes it suitable not only for tea but also for use as a sake cup. It's perfect for relaxing at home or entertaining guests.

Midou Kiln, located in Nagasaki Prefecture, is a notable Hasami ware kiln with a 90-year history, famous for having the area's largest kiln. The workshop excels in pad printing, a method where craftsmen transfer designs onto bisque ware using silicone pads and machinery.
