Against a red ground, fine white dots are applied across the surface, forming a swirling pattern that creates depth and texture while following the contours of the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe weeping sakura blossoms and branches are rendered in gold using morikin, which creates a raised effect by layering gold over a \u003cem\u003ebengara \u003c\/em\u003ered underlayer. The leaves are accented in silvery-white using hakkin-mori, an innovation on traditional gold decoration that layers platinum over gold. The warm gold and silvery-white accents contrast with the matte red ground, creating an interplay of color, texture, and metallic sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe shirochibu technique is characterized by the meticulous application of tiny white dots that add a sense of depth. The delicacy of the white texture provides a counterpoint to the richness of the gold and platinum decoration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitano-Tojudo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46942244208829,"sku":"KIG-63","price":532.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/260813_KIG-63_scene_MTU_0025.jpg?v=1787192947","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/red-morikin-shirochibu-weeping-sakura-sake-cup","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
