Painted entirely by hand, this sake cup carries the mark of a practiced brush — the pattern applied one piece at a time, each stroke placed by feel as much as memory. No two pieces come out quite the same. Seiji Okuda forms and paints each sake cup by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a sake cup that carries the marks of its making — never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Japanese pottery (ceramic) Made in Japan Artisan: Seiji Okuda Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in pattern and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
