Thank you for viewing. This is a small sake cup (choko) purchased from an antique shop in Tokyo. It is carefully painted. There are nine figures depicted in total. One of them is sitting on a platform with a staff, so he is likely a master or teacher. The others appear to be children, judging by their hairstyles. They are depicted with various personalities, some serious and some playful. The inside of the cup features a dragon and clouds. There are no major chips or cracks. Please check the images carefully for details. Size: Height: 4 cm Width: 7 cm
