This sakazuki flat sake cup features exquisite sometsuke designs hand-painted by master craftsman Yamamoto Choza. Detailed drawings of ancient treasures surrounding a botanical motif invite good fortune and prosperity. The intricacies of each design beckon for a second glance.
The porcelain base is formed using the katauchi technique, where a smooth layer of clay is placed over a mold and carefully shaped by hand with precise force to replicate the form. Through expert craftsmanship, the final product attains a thin and uniformly consistent appearance.
In this remarkable sake cup, the brilliance of sometsuke painting takes center stage, showcasing the artist’s remarkable skill. At first glance, the meticulously rendered motifs draw the eye with their fine lines and captivating depth. Each brushstroke is carefully applied to accentuate the cup’s classic Kutani contours, resulting in a harmonious blend of tradition and sophistication. As the glaze settles and the piece undergoes firing, the once-crisp details soften just enough to evoke a serene, almost ethereal quality.
The true distinction of this cup lies in its seamless union of form and decoration: the elegant footed silhouette provides a graceful foundation for the delicate blue patterns, weaving a coherent story across the porcelain’s luminous white surface. It is a testament to the artisan’s mastery, reflecting a deep reverence for Japan’s cultural heritage while offering a refined touch of beauty to the modern table.
