Sake cup / upside-down moon

The lacquer color and moonlight are expressed by gold lacquer, which now serves as the motif of this sake cup. In Japan, since ancient times, there has been a custom of enjoying the moon's reflection in sake rather than gazing up at the moon in the night sky. This vessel was created based on the concept of "the moon reflected in a sake cup." The original, unprecedented cylindrical form is impressive. The wooden design makes it light and easy to hold, and its softness to the touch adds to its charm. It is also functional, as it is easy to hold and does not quickly become cold, even when filled with hot sake.There are six different designs, each inspired by a different expression of the moon.
