Thank you for viewing. This is a set of five Tokoname-yaki (Tokoname ware) shudei yunomi (teacups), a traditional craft of Aichi Prefecture. • Authentic Tokoname-yaki Shudei: Shudei, made by firing clay rich in iron, is famous for mellowing the tea's components and reducing bitterness, making the tea taste delicious. It has the dignity of being one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. • Hand-carved, like a one-of-a-kind piece: The surface is carefully carved with poems from the Manyoshu (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves), and combined with the matte vermilion texture, it has a very high-class feel and atmosphere. • The beautiful culture of "tea": The bottom has a stamp (potter's mark) indicating reliable quality. These are authentic sencha utensils that we especially recommend for tea lovers. ■ Condition of the product • Brand new, unused: Unused item stored at home. • Condition: No cracks, chips, or stains, in very good condition. • Accessories: Will be carefully packaged and delivered. ■ About shipping • Days until shipment: 1-2 days (speedy shipping available) • Shipping method: Rakuraku Mercari (anonymous shipping, tracking, and compensation) This set, which brings together the best of traditional crafts, will elevate your daily tea time. We confidently recommend it as a gift or for entertaining important guests. #TokonameYaki #Shudei #Manyoshu #ManyoPoems #Yunomi #TeaUtensils #TraditionalCrafts #JapaneseTableware #Sencha #SixAncientKilnsOfJapan #Antique #ArtistMade
