Red Chrysanthemum Guinomi Sake Cup
This small guinomi sake cup has a relatively shallow shape. The gorgeous chrysanthemum pattern and vermillion 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.
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 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.
