This teacup is painted with a brilliant yellow glaze and features cherry blossoms in full bloom, heralding the arrival of spring. The yellow background enhances the gorgeousness of the pale pink cherry blossoms.
KINURI means yellow-lacquered, and SAKURA means cherry blossom in Japanese. Cherry blossoms are one of the most beloved flowers in Japan. They are elegantly and vividly depicted in this work. The cherry blossom is not only a symbol of spring, but also the national flower of Japan. The cherry blossoms on this teacup are framed in gold, which adds to their elegance.
One cherry blossom and one leaf are also painted on the inside of the teacup. It seems as if the cherry blossom branches painted on the surface have grown to the inside. When you pour green tea into this teacup, you will feel as if you are enjoying a cup of tea at an outdoor tea ceremony while looking at the vivid cherry blossoms.
On the outer yellow part and inside of the cup, you can see linear marks made by brush, known as HAKEME.
This Yunomi has a graceful aura that will enliven the atmosphere of your daily table, creating a truly extraordinary experience.
Specially packaged in a carton box.
Lead-free. Made in Japan.
