This set of 3 ceramic cups were acquired about 10 years ago. At the time I had several favorite Japanese sellers in Japan who sold on Ebay.
One was for decorative items or table top utilitarian pieces, the another was for Japanese textiles that were new/old stock, and highly appreciated. The majority being cotton or silk.
I knew these were recent when I got them, but they were quite different from the porcelain type of cups, and I like the dainty hand painted decorations. Japanese culture prefers uneven numbers in their drinking and eating sets. The tomobako box was never offered or shown.
Thanks Leah, for the love and Malkey too.
Very pretty! I can't wait until the shipping costs from Japan to the US go back to normal. I've had my eye on a few things but the shipping cost is several times the cost of the items...
I love that for the Japanese a great part of an object is it's tactility.
You don't just drink from these, you immerse your senses in them.
