Pink Flower Petals Guinomi Sake Cup
The guinomi sake cup boasts a design reminiscent of a blossoming flower. The center of its base is hexagonal, while the sides are adorned with a chrysanthemum-linked pattern. It is entirely handcrafted by the traditional craftsman, Kiyohide.
This pink color is called kin-aka (gold red) and is made by mixing red raw materials with gold powder. The lighter the pastel color, the more difficult it is to achieve a consistent color.
Despite the intricate appearance of cutting work, the process is brought to completion by fluid and smooth motions, honed over decades of training. The meticulous patterns change expressions with lighting, emanating a delicate glow that captivates the viewer, whether under natural light or when illuminated in darkness.
The surface’s texture ensures that the glass doesn’t easily slip from your grasp, and the round form, combined with the moderate weight, makes it ergonomic.
Made of glass for a smooth drinking experience, it is perfect for slowly savoring chilled sake. This piece embodies the chic and pleasant sake time unique to Edo Kiriko.
