Snow-capped Mount Fuji rises through a flurry of sakura (cherry blossom) petals on this Kutani ware yunomi teacup. The enchanting scene on the teacup, as well as the paulownia gift box, are hand-painted by Yoshinori Fukuda (福田 良則).

Fuji has long been revered as Japan's most sacred and auspicious mountain, here depicted in a spring view, surrounded by falling sakura leaves. Sakura blooms quickly across Japan in the spring, and is often used as a symbol for the beauty of fleeting moments.

The short, straight-sided shape of the cup feels compact and steady in the hand, and the soft grey glaze inside shows off the colour of your tea or coffee.

Kutani Ware

Established in 1655, Ishikawa’s Kutani-yaki is defined by its masterful use of the traditional Gosai palette, a vibrant quintet of red, green, yellow, navy, and purple. What truly sets Kutani apart is its freedom of expression. Rather than adhering to strict regional templates, each kiln is encouraged to develop its own artistic signature.

Here, porcelain is treated as a canvas; a vibrant fusion of heritage techniques and modern sensibility. This delicate balance between timeless tradition and contemporary functionality is the very soul of Kutani-yaki today.
