In the past, when elegant people enjoyed drinking sake while viewing the moon, they would enjoy gazing at the moon reflected in the sake cup rather than looking up at the moon in the night sky.
We created a new sake cup based on the concept of an inverted moon reflected in a sake cup.
Its name is "Upside-down."
Various images of the months are incorporated into six designs (Yoi/Jugo/Kasa/Ariake/Misoka/Sen) and expressed using lacquer and maki-e.
Of the six sake cups, this product has the motif of the "evening moon" hanging at dusk.
The still bright sky is depicted in vermilion and black lacquer, and the moon is depicted in Maki-e.
The beauty of the combination of black lacquer and vermilion is what makes this cup so appealing.
The unique cylindrical shape is impressive.
Because it is made of wood, it is light and easy to hold, and has a gentle feel on the mouth, which is one of its charms.
It also has the functionality of being easy to hold and retaining heat even when filled with hot sake, without transferring heat to your hands.
A great birthday gift for alcohol lovers, or a gift for Father's Day, Mother's Day, or Respect for the Aged Day.
The slightly larger sizes are based on the size of tea utensils preferred by Chinese people, making them a great souvenir or gift for foreigners.
