Product Description
Teacups are called "Yunomi" in Japanese. It is a vertical, cylindrical teacup commonly used for drinking Japanese tea by hand. Because of its large capacity, the area where the tea comes into contact with the air is small, which means it does not get cold easily.
This pair of teacups has a "Hanazume" design, a traditional Kutani ware technique. The serene yet elegant design will make your daily tea time a little more special.
"Hanazume" is a technique introduced to Kutani by the renowned Kanazawa craftsman Shiro Mizuta during the Taisho era in Japan (1913). It consists of covering the surface of the vessel with various flowers and outlining their contours in gold.
This is a distinctive design that brightens dining tables and represents the luxurious and sumptuous style of Kutani ware.
