This rounded 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 with a blue pattern mainly made of cobalt oxide over a white base glaze and then coated with transparent glaze and fired at a high temperature. It's simple yet sophisticated and 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.

AJISAI means hydrangea in Japanese. The flower is drawn elegantly, vividly, and intrepidly. AJISAI hydrangea has been traditionally used as a motif for OMOGASHI confections for the Japanese tea ceremony. OMOGASHI confections for the tea ceremony express various flowers of the four seasons in Japan. It is said that AJISAI hydrangea drives away the unpleasant mood which is common in the TSUYU rainy season. The flower and plants are vividly painted with zaffer glaze in Tohan's specific painting style, which always fascinates viewers.

The overall rounded form is indescribably charming and gives the viewer a sense of comfort. The rounded shape also fits your hand wonderfully well and makes you feel comfortable from the sense of touch.

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