This is a pair of lidded yunomi Japanese teacups featuring a red mesh pattern adorned with cherry blossoms, known as sakura in Japanese. Each fine line is drawn individually by Kutani ware artisan Sawada Ikumi. The mesh pattern, a long-favored design in Japanese tableware, together with cherry blossoms, conveys a traditional ambiance.

These lidded teacups are ideal for entertaining guests, as the lids help to retain the tea's warmth, preventing it from cooling too quickly. For casual occasions, relish relaxed tea moments with friends and family using these cups without their lids.

These cups are versatile, suitable not only for Japanese green tea or roasted Japanese tea but also for a variety of beverages such as coffee and black tea. Beautifully encased in a paulownia wood box with the name of the item and of the artisan in Japanese calligraphy, these teacups make for a gift that will surely be treasured.
