Set Contents
4 Bizen-ware Ochoko Cups:
Bizen-ware, counted as one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, is fired at high temperatures without glaze, giving it the warmth and rustic texture of the earth. Each cup has a unique color and pattern (kiln variation), making it one-of-a-kind. Its comfortable weight and texture further enhance the flavor of sake.

1 Kutani-ware Ochoko Cup (Aoki Mokubei Style):
Kutani-ware is characterized by its vibrant colors and delicate paintings. This piece features a gorgeous design reminiscent of the style of Aoki Mokubei, a master craftsman of the Edo period. A green bird is depicted on a vivid red background, giving it a striking presence in any collection.

1 Kiyomizu-ware Ochoko Cup:
Kyo-ware/Kiyomizu-ware is known for its sophisticated design and elegant colors. This ochoko cup is a beautiful piece with a warm, amber glaze. There is a small chip on the rim, but this adds to its depth of character, reflecting its history of being cherished for many years.

These cups are not only perfect for drinking sake but also add richness to any space when displayed as small bowls or decorative items. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the beauty of traditional crafts.
