Tanabata -cold sake cup for 12months

12 months cold sake cup - July "Tanabata"

In Japan, there is an event called Tanabata (Star Festival) on July 7, when people decorate bamboo branches with strips of paper with their wishes on them.
The July cold sake cup is decorated with such Tanabata decorations.
On a clear day, the Milky Way can be seen in the sky.

The pattern is drawn in color lacquer.
If you look closely, there are some wishes in the papers ...
In addition, the flowing water pattern, which is based on the image of the Milky Way flowing through the night sky, is drawn with gold leaf.

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 July.

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.
