This is a sake cup made with genuine lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlay, crafted with the traditional techniques passed down by a long-established Buddhist altar shop founded in Taisho 2 (1913).
The skilled techniques of lacquerware artisans, decorative artisans, and gold leaf artisans, who inherit the methods of Uozu lacquerware with its 400-year history, are fused into one. The beautiful radiance woven by gold leaf, silver leaf, copper leaf, and mother-of-pearl inlay from natural abalone shells displays various expressions depending on the viewing angle.
Furthermore, the true value of this sake cup is revealed the moment you pour sake, water, or white wine into it.
The elegant patterns of genuine lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlay applied to the bottom of the glass emerge even more vividly through the liquid, creating a fantastical scene where the light of the gold leaf spreads out in multiple rings. You can enjoy a beauty as if light itself resides within the glass.
This is a masterpiece for a special drink, combining the joy of viewing with the pleasure of using. It is recommended for your own evening drinks at home, as well as as a gift for someone special.
