Designed for enjoying sake in intimate company, these small cups embody the understated elegance and everyday practicality that have made Kutani ware beloved throughout Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach guinomi is formed with a gently rounded silhouette that fits naturally in the hand. The porcelain body is decorated in soft shades of cobalt blue over a milky white glaze, depicting a stylised bamboo motif rendered through expressive brushwork. The rhythmic vertical and diagonal strokes evoke the appearance of bamboo stalks and leaves swaying in the wind, creating a design that feels both modern and deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Kutani ware is often associated with richly coloured overglaze enamels, this set reveals another side of the tradition through its understated blue-and-white palette. Slight variations in the hand-painted decoration give each cup its own individuality, highlighting the warmth and authenticity of artisan craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in the Kaga region of present-day Ishikawa Prefecture, Kutani-yaki has flourished for over 350 years and remains one of Japan's most celebrated ceramic traditions. Shōzan-gama's work honours this heritage while embracing a simplicity that complements both contemporary and traditional lifestyles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5 x 5 x 4cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57575591149899,"sku":"TB322","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_140f568a-c5be-4869-8887-d96100a342df.jpg?v=1781427544","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/tb322-kutani-yaki-guinomi-cup-set-%e4%b9%9d%e8%b0%b7%e7%84%bc","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
