This series features beautiful, sparkling glasses with six gourds (Mu-byōtan) depicted in blue and gold.
Gourds have a constriction around the middle, with the lower half being larger than the upper half.Therefore, they are considered auspicious due to their widening shape.Three gourds together are called "San-byōshi" (meaning "three beats" or "triple rhythm"), and six gourds together are called "Mu-byōtan" (meaning "no illness"), which is also auspicious.Furthermore, in Feng Shui, it is said to be good to place a gourd by the bedside of a child who is prone to illness.Gourds are also considered a symbol of "prosperity of descendants" as their fruits grow in clusters.
Loved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for their auspiciousness, gourds were used as his personal banner.These glasses are perfect for celebratory occasions such as New Year's and other festive gatherings, and come as a pair set in a box.Please use them for entertaining guests at home or as a gift.
