Yunomi Japanese Teacups
Yunomi are a kind of vertical, cylindrical teacup. They are typically used for casual tea times. Because of the large capacity of a yunomi, the area where the tea touches the air is small, so the tea does not get cold easily. They are also suitable for when you want to drink a lot of bancha or hojicha. In sushi restaurants, tea is traditionally served in a yunomi.
Camellia
The camellia, a symbol of good luck native to Japan, blooms with vibrant colors from winter to early spring. Revered in Shinto rituals and seen as a sacred tree, its evergreen nature and role in welcoming spring make it a popular auspicious motif. Discover the charm of camellia through our motif items that celebrate this traditional Japanese symbol.
