Product Description

This product has a plum drawn on it. Since plum blossoms bloom even in the cold winter, it has been considered a lucky charm in Japan since ancient times.

 

It is said to bloom before other flowers because it blooms earlier than other flowers. Plum trees endure the cold winter and eventually bloom into beautiful blossoms, heralding the arrival of spring. The flower language of the plum is "patience", "elegance", "nobility" and "loyalty". Its name is said to be derived from its graceful appearance, which blossoms gracefully in the cold season.

 

Michizane Sugawara, known as the god of learning, said, "Plum blossom, even though I, your master, am gone, please remember spring and blossom.

 

Japanese 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 that it does not get cold easily.

How to care for Kutani ware

Care and Maintenance

Adorned with exquisite floral colors and gold paint doesn’t mean it was designed just for display. 

Kutani pottery was designed and made for daily joy. 

With proper care and knowledge, this timeless piece promises years of delightful use.​

Hand washing is recommended whenever possible

You can use a soft sponge and a mild detergent to clean the dish. It is important to wash gently with a soft sponge or cloth.​ 

While you can use a dishwasher, we recommend hand washing as much as possible for some items such as those made of gold and silver, which tend to peel off after a long period of use.​

Be careful with microwave ovens

Do not use products made of gold or silver in the microwave or oven. 

Sparks may fly off and cause the surface to become dirty or damaged.​

Rapid temperature change

Do not use products made of gold or silver in the microwave or oven.
