Set against a glossy white ground, fine white dots are applied across the surface, creating a subtle texture and sense of depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe plum branches are rendered in gold using morikin, which creates a raised effect by layering gold over a \u003cem\u003ebengara \u003c\/em\u003ered underlayer. The silvery-white plum blossoms use hakkin-mori, an innovation on traditional gold decoration that layers platinum over gold. The platinum and gold subtly contrast with the white ground to create an interplay of light, color, and texture. The background further emphasizes the metallic accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe interior of the cup is adorned with scattered golden cherry blossoms that appear to drift gently across the surface. The transition from plum blossoms on the exterior to cherry blossoms inside reveals new details as the cup is turned in the hand and sipped from.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitano-Tojudo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46942244339901,"sku":"KIG-65","price":974.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/1-1_-260812_KIG-65_scene_MTU_0001.jpg?v=1787198910","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/products\/white-morikin-shirochibu-plum-blossom-pattern-sake-cup","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
