Hasamiyaki – Fuji Sakura Sake Cup

🌸 A Fresh Interpretation of Blue and White Porcelain The Star of the Modern Artistic Dining Table – Hasamiyaki ⭐ Hasamiyaki from Hasami Town, Nagasaki Prefecture, has a history spanning over 400 years. During the Edo period, it was exported to Europe through the port of Nagasaki, becoming one of Japan's earliest mass-produced daily use ceramics. Known for its transparent white porcelain paired with fine blue and white patterns, its lightweight forms have been beloved for everyday family use. In recent times, collaborations with designers have breathed new life into this tradition, infusing classic blue and white designs with minimalist aesthetics. It has since become a byword for the modern "bunkajin" (literary and artistic person) dining style, maintaining enduring popularity. 🗻 Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms are iconic symbols of Japan. Painted onto this pure white sake cup, they bring a feeling of fresh joy with every glance throughout the day. ❤️ Sake Cup (Choko): The traditional Japanese sake cup (choko) was originally used for dipping soba noodle sauce and as a small cup for tasting sake. They are designed to be stackable for storage, fitting neatly without taking up much space, and offer high stability when stacked. Nowadays, they are also used for drinking tea, coffee, or for serving small side dishes, savory steamed egg custard (chawanmushi), soup, ice cream, salads, and can even serve as candle holders or small flower vases, offering versatile and convenient uses. ※ Comes with a gift box. ※ Product Dimensions: Diameter 7.5 × Height 6 cm, Capacity 150 ml. ※ Each piece is handcrafted by artisans.
