Hinazuki -cold sake cup for 12months

12 months cold sake cup - March "Hinatsuki"

In honor of Hina Matsuri (Girls' Day) on March 3, we named the March chilled sake cup "Hiinatsuki" with an elegant design of a fan and plum blossoms.
The fan inside the cup is called "Hiougi" which is held by the hina dolls.
And originally,  "Hiougi" was used at court.
The plum blossoms surrounding the fan are flowers loved by the aristocrats of the Heian period and often used in waka poems as a herald of spring.

This design not only reminds us of the season of Hina dolls, but also of the elegance of the Heian period.

The design in the cup is drawn with gold leaf and color lacquer.
The plum blossoms in hidden places are also lovely, making this cup a delightful discovery.

Lacquerware sake cup is especially popular among those who like to drink, as it is pleasant to the palate and offers a different taste from other vessels.
It is also enjoyed as a vessel for sweets and dishes, or as a beautiful decoration.
This sake cup is also a popular birthday gift for people born in March.

A discerning cold sake cup carved from one piece of wood

The handle of the 12 months cold sake cup is characterized by its very thin, straight, and uniform appearance.
Many people think that these handles are glued on afterwards, but in fact, they are carved from a single piece of wood.

As you can see in the photo, you can see how the wood base is shaved in the order of 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Although most of the wood base is shaved off, it is kept strong as one piece.

The delicate and beautiful handle of this chilled sake cup is the result of skilled workmanship.
We hope you will enjoy the beauty of the design and the quality of the handiwork.

We have prepared a special gift box.

While keeping the sake cup firmly in place, we have made an effort to make the beautiful seasonal design visible as soon as the box is opened.

A special gift box for 2 cups is also available.

We also have a gift box for 2 cups, which is popular gift for couples.
* If you wish to have the box, please purchase 2 sake cups and write [set of 2 box request] in the remarks column.
