Unused Mizume Sakura 2.5 Sake Cup Pair Set Natural wood, lacquered. Retail price: ¥12,100 (including tax) per pair Size: Φ7.7 x h5.0 (cm) Box specification: glued box Materials: Akane (Madder Red): Natural wood, lacquered Jindai (Ancient Wood): Natural wood, lacquered Made in Japan A sleek and refined shape reminiscent of Mount Fuji, which widens towards the top. The advanced lathe techniques of Yamanaka lacquerware allow for a thinness that lets light pass through. The thin rim provides a delicate drinking experience. Recommended as a reward for yourself or as a gift for those who enjoy sake. The colors are Akane-suri (Madder Red) and Jindai-suri (Ancient Wood), which beautifully highlight the wood grain through the "fuki-urushi" (wiped lacquer) method, where lacquer is repeatedly rubbed into the wood and then wiped off. Yamanaka-nuri is lacquerware made in the Yamanaka Onsen area of Kaga City, Ishikawa Prefecture, also known as Yamanaka Shikki. As one of the three major lacquerware production areas in the prefecture, it is "Yamanaka for woodturning," alongside "Wajima for coating" and "Kanazawa for maki-e." Yamanaka has long been home to many woodturners (kijishi*), and boasts the largest production volume in the country for turned wood (hikimono*). A major characteristic of Yamanaka-nuri, which makes the most of the wood grain and expresses a natural texture, is the vertical wood grain (tatekidori), which shapes the vessel in the direction the wood grows. This results in durable lacquerware that is less prone to warping due to drying, allowing for intricate finishes not only for bowls but also for thin-turned items and lidded items. Furthermore, the addition of decorative turning (kashoku-biki*) that applies various patterns to the wood, such as chisuji (thousand lines) and arasuji (rough lines), has given rise to Yamanaka-nuri's unique lacquerware, which is meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail. [Notes] * Not dishwasher or microwave safe. Caring for lacquerware is very easy. Simply wash gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Soaking in hot water may cause the coating to peel off. Also, avoid using cleansers or scrub brushes with coarse bristles.
