This Yunomi is well planned and designed, though it looks quite simple at first glance. You will be impressed when you feel its thinness and light weight, which are marks of sophistication.

SOMETSUKE refers to traditional Japanese ceramics that have been painted on white ground with a pattern mainly made of cobalt oxide and then baked at high temperature with transparent glaze. It's simple yet very sophisticated and very easy to use all year round.

SOHKA of this name means flowers in Japanese. As its name suggests, famous Japanese flowers are boldly drawn on the surface.

BOTAN means peony flower in Japanese, which is one of the well-loved flowers in ancient Japan. Women wore Kimono with peony flower patterns, and some people used the peony as their family crest. Tohan gorgeously expresses the elegant scene of BOTAN peony flower. The flowers and plants are vividly painted in Tohan's unique style, which always fascinates viewers.

The pottery wheel marks on the outside not only create a sense of rhythm but also make the teacup convenient to hold in your hands without slipping.

This Yunomi has a graceful aura, that will change even your daily tea time to an extraordinary experience.
