Product Description
This is a kokutani teacup reminiscent of traditional Japanese god designs, such as those found in the ‘Wind and Thunder Gods’ design.
The background is covered in yellow-green and yellow **"cobblestone pattern ’**, which gives it depth and power, and the blue (gosu) and green (aote) colour scheme in particular emphasises the strength of the Ko-Kutani style.
The Wind God, Thunder God and Demon God are favoured as auspicious motifs, partly because they are meant to ward off bad luck and misfortune.
This is a traditional yet somewhat contemporary artistic piece that has a strong presence even when just displayed.
