Pine, Bamboo, and Plum Guinomi Sake Cup
This small guinomi sake cup has a gorgeous pattern of Aizu-e, which is 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 famous combination of pine tree, bamboo and plum is considered as auspicious motif in Japan, bringing good luck and longevity. Also, there are paintings of ceremonial arrow and spinning wheel, both are considered as a signature motif of Aizu lacquerware.
