Red Chrysanthemum Sakazuki Flat Sake Cup with Stand
This sakazuki sake cup is relatively large and has a shallow shape. The gorgeous chrysanthemum pattern and vermilion color are beautiful and perfect for drinking sake at festive occasions. When sake is poured, the painting becomes even more beautiful with its glossy reflection.
It comes with a stand, so you can display it when you are not using it, making it a wonderful interior decorative item.
Aizu-e, the traditional design of Aizu lacquerware, is hand-painted one by one by skilled maki-e artists. The painting of the chrysanthemum flower is considered as an auspicious motif in Japan, warding off disease and bringing longevity.
The decoration is done by hand, using brushes and cotton buds for painting, so each piece is finished differently. This is the reason why some of the gold paintings are blurred and some paints are pooled, but we hope you enjoy it as the charm of handmade products.
