A meadow of flowers, delicately outlined in gold and set against vibrant backgrounds of pink, blue, or orange, decorates the tokkuri sake carafe and two ochoko sake cups in this set. Equally elegant and playful, this set invites you to find seasonal flowers depicted, no matter what time of the year you choose to savor a sip of sake.
This intricate floral motif is crafted using the hanazume technique, a decorative painting method of Kutani ware. Meaning "filled with flowers," hanazume features a multi-seasonal array of traditional Japanese flowers, densely covering the surface in vibrant colors and accented with gold outlines.
Adorned with a dense and vibrant flower motif featuring traditional Japanese seasonal flowers, such as spring peonies and autumn chrysanthemums, the design is not limited to any specific season and can be enjoyed every day of the year.
Whether on a special occasion or a quiet evening, this set is the perfect way to share sake with someone special. It makes an ideal wedding present or housewarming gift.

Hanazume
Hanazume is a classic Kutani ware technique in which flowers are intricately drawn across an entire surface. After the first firing, detailed floral designs are outlined with gold paint before the final firing. This decorative method, introduced by Shiro Mizuta in Kanazawa City during the Taisho period (1912 CE–1926 CE), beautifully combines vibrant flowers with elegant gold to create stunning pieces.
