This is a set of 10 Zohiko tea saucers. Black lacquer with a tied willow design. In ancient China, there was a custom of breaking off a willow branch and tying it into a ring to give to someone embarking on a journey. The ring is also called "wa" (輪), which has the same pronunciation as "kan" (還), meaning return. By giving the flexible and vital willow, they prayed for the safety of the journey, hoping the person would return safely. I have no memory of using them, but they have been stored at home for a long time, so I have listed the condition as "near unused." There are no noticeable scratches or stains. Size: 13.5cm x 13.5cm Please forgive any slight errors or oversights as this is a personal inspection and measurement. I am also listing a set of 10 individual plates with the same design. I believe it is rare to find them offered together like this, so this is a chance to purchase them as a set. If you purchase them together, I cannot offer a significant discount, but I can offer a small reduction. Please let me know in the comments.
