Ume & Sakura Cup Set of 2, Paulownia Box, White Porcelain

They are carefully crafted in Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's leading ceramic production areas.

Our unique white porcelain is made with carefully selected raw materials and pursues a soft whiteness, and is made to be just the right thickness.Not only does it have a soothing appearance, it also has a smooth feel in the hand and is pleasant to drink from.

The slightly larger size makes it suitable for a wide range of uses, not just hot and iced drinks, but also desserts.

The motifs on the bottom of the piece, the plum and cherry blossoms, two of Japan's most representative flowering trees, have been used since ancient times as a metaphor for beautiful and excellent things side by side, and are expressed as a "match of charm between the plum and cherry blossom."

Plum blossoms bloom before other flowering trees in the bitterly cold early spring, and are therefore considered to be auspicious, bringing good fortune and career advancement.
As Japan's national flower, the cherry blossom is a symbol of spiritual beauty, graceful people, and the dignity of the Japanese people.

The box is made from paulownia wood, which has been revered since ancient times as a tree that brings good fortune and happiness, and the cup with a reversible coaster makes it the perfect gift for a loved one, regardless of gender or age.
