Rooted in the rich tradition of tea culture, Yakumo-nuri is a distinguished craft from Matsue, Japan. Among its celebrated techniques is Yakumo Byakudan, which involves applying genuine Japanese lacquer over layers of gold leaf. Each layer is meticulously brushed by hand, creating a finish that evolves beautifully with time. As the lacquer gradually becomes more translucent through exposure to light, the gold beneath emerges with increasing brilliance, giving the piece a unique and living radiance.

The Yakumo Byakudan Amber Wooden Tea Cup with Handle is designed to be both elegant and practical. Lightweight and easy to use, it embodies the harmony of refined artistry and daily functionality. When newly crafted, the cup displays a deep wine-red hue. Over the years, as the transparent lacquer matures, the hidden gold leaf begins to glow vividly, transforming the appearance and enhancing its beauty with continued use.

Please note: the degree of color expression may vary depending on the environment. This tea cup is not suitable for dishwashers or microwave ovens.

By combining natural materials, expert craftsmanship, and the philosophy of time’s passage, this Yakumo-nuri tea cup offers a truly timeless experience of Japanese lacquerware.
