Nabeshima Rhododendron Pattern Sake Cup-Guinomi

A popular collection of sake cups where you can enjoy the extremely fine brush strokes by Hataman's skilled craftsmen.

By adding irregularities like bamboo knots around the waist, we are taking on the challenge of creating a new expression of the Nabeshima design by incorporating both the combed foot and the painting, which can be said to be the icon of Nabeshima ware, on the same surface.

Rhododendrons originally bloomed clinging to the rocks of alpine regions, and because they are difficult to collect, they are also said to be the origin of the "tall flower", which means an inaccessible flower. In addition, Japan has a long history of mountain worship, and the beautiful rhododendron that blooms on the rocks of high mountains is also a sacred flower that is said to be the incarnation of the spirit of the mountain.

It is also recommended as a gift for your loved ones, and has a variety of patterns, making it a highly collectible and popular item.

Nabeshima Style

The aesthetic beauty of Nabeshima ware has been carefully preserved as a traditional rule since the Edo period, and the design is composed of one color of dyeing (blue) and three colors of red painting (red, yellow, green).

The extremely fine and carefully drawn lines are expressed with pale gradations layered over and over again, creating a dignified dignity.

The traditional Nabeshima pattern that was presented as a gift is a gorgeous design that allows you to feel the elegance of ancient Japan.
