Yoshita Kasho Hokusai Great Wave off Kanagawa Maki-e Glass Sake Cup

This mesmerizing piece of golden glass is adorned with the iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa, a famous painting by Hokusai. The blue and white of the wave contrast harmoniously with the gold base, creating a stunning visual effect.

This glass sake cup is coated with transparent lacquer, and its uneven brushed layer produces a lavish and varied reflection of gold, accentuating the powerful imagery of the wave at the base. The glass sake cup is delicate and lightweight with exceptional transparency, allowing the sake's texture to be beautifully showcased.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa, hand-painted at the bottom, captures the dynamic movement and subtle nuances of Hokusai's masterpiece. This artwork is protected by a layer of glass, allowing you to appreciate its beauty without concern for scratches.
