Japan Ukiyoe - Fox of Nine Tails/ mug

In myth, when a fox acquired magical powers, it grew nine tails and became immortal. (The number nine represents longevity). This work is inspired by Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s prints of the Nine-Tailed Fox (which is the guardian deity to Shinto Shrines dedicated to Inari, the God of Rice). The fox’s tails swirl up to the sky and reflect a bright moon, symbolizing a long, full, brilliant future. https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/product_file/3001840A_file_name_source_502817.jpg The fox is the messenger of the god Inari. The designer turns his hand into a tail and painted ears of rice that symbolize a good harvest. https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/300184_file_5f1e9ec1bbe7f_57679.jpg The Kinkakuji Temple in the snow, and the fox far away. https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/300184_file_5f1e9ec284f2b_21412.jpg The fox is presented in a bas-relief, drawing layers from the background. https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/300184_file_5f1e9ec202134_18917.jpg The edge of the cup is decorated with real gold (This is real gold, so you can't put it in the microwave when you use it) https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/300184_file_5f1e9ec2bdaf8_91361.jpg The prominent bright moon serves as a tea bag button, which can be hung up to prevent it from falling off https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/300184_file_5f1e9ec249a49_22612.jpg **Ukiyoe Fox Series** https://www.pinkoi.com/product/eRWXWt7x (Japan Ukiyoe - Fox of Nine Tails/ vase) https://www.pinkoi.com/product/EXe9WqPc (Japan Ukiyoe - Fox of Nine Tails/ plate) ————————————————— | Specification | ◆Size:140x105x85 (mm)　 ◆Weight: 395g ◆Capacity: 480ml ◆Material: Porcelain ◆Manufacturing method: manual + machine ◆Place of Origin: Designed in Taiwan + Made in China | Thoughtful Features | https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/3001840_file_563241334408112020032344.jpg 1.The Bright glazes are lead free and cadmium free, fired at 1250°C, and meet SGS food containers standards. https://fs1.shop123.com.tw/300184/upload/harddisc/3001840_file_650299164141112020032341.jpg 2.
