This elegant glass tumbler is crafted in the traditional Yakumo-nuri style, produced in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. Yakumo-nuri is known for using 100% natural Japanese urushi lacquer, applied meticulously by skilled artisans to create a deep, lustrous finish unique to this regional craft.
The design features an artistic “window” in the shape of Mount Fuji, Japan’s most iconic and revered mountain. Through this lacquered opening, the transparent glass beneath appears like a silhouette of Fuji rising in soft light, creating a refined contrast between darkness and clarity. This contemporary expression of urushi brings together modern glasswork and centuries-old lacquer techniques.
As a lacquerware piece, gentle care is recommended. Do not use in a dishwasher or microwave. Hand wash with a soft sponge to preserve its beauty and sheen. A striking fusion of artistry and tradition, this tumbler makes a memorable gift or collector’s item.
