This pair of 湯吞杯 (yunomi teacups) beautifully represents the artistry of 有田焼 (Arita-yaki) porcelain, one of Japan’s oldest and most esteemed ceramic traditions. Each cup bears the graceful calligraphy of “玉の海 正洋” (Tamanoumi Masahiro), a tribute to the distinguished sumo wrestler of the same name, renowned for his strength and elegance both in and out of the ring.
The set features two complementary glazes — a deep turquoise blue and a warm vermilion red — each adorned with flowing white calligraphy of “玉の海.” The contrast between the bold colors and the delicate brushwork evokes a balance of power and serenity, qualities that mirror Tamanoumi’s spirit.
There’s a tiny chip on the green cup. Please review the photos for details about the item’s condition. Size: 6 x 6 x 8.5cm (L) 6 x 6 x 8cm (S) 11 x 18 x 10cm (Box)
