This is a set of 5 boxed Satsuma Mingei Shoji Yakusugi (Yakushima cedar) teacups. These are small teacups made from rare Yakusugi. *Yakusugi refers to cedar trees aged 1,000 to 7,000 years old that grow on the mid-slopes of Mt. Miyanoura and surrounding mountains, the highest peak in the southernmost part of Kyushu. These are small teacups made from rare Yakusugi. No two are alike, and they are known as high-class crafts for their beautiful wood grain, good color and luster, and wonderful fragrance. They have been stored at home for a long time without being used.
