Ume Cup in Paulownia box

Ume (Japanese apricot) and sakura (Japanese cherry) cups made in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, which is one of Japan’s leading porcelain production areas. Our original white porcelain, meticulously made from handpicked raw materials to attain its soft white color, not only soothes people’s mind by its appearance but also gives a smooth feeling when held in the hands and fineness when touching the mouth, and offers high-quality time. Due to its slightly large size, it can be used in a wide variety of ways, not only for hot and iced drinks but also for desserts. The motifs on the bottom, the principal Japanese flowering trees “ume” and “sakura,” since ancient times have been used as a symbol of an arrangement of beautiful and excellent things, and have been described as “competition of coquettishness between ume and sakura.” Because “ume” blooms earlier than other flowering trees in the harsh cold early spring, it is said to bring good luck such as “better fortune” and “success,” and “sakura” being a national flower of Japan is a symbol of the dignity of Japanese people such as “beauty of the spirit” and “graceful people.” A box made of paulownia wood, a valuable tree that since ancient times has been said to bring good luck and happiness, and cups with coasters, are perfect gifts you can give to your loved ones, regardless of gender or age. 【Country of manufacture】 Japan Gifu 【Dimensions】 Cup：φ94×H94mm 380ml Coaster：W90×D90mm Paulownia box：W117×D117×H118mm 【Material】 Cup：Porcelain Coaster：Linen
