Description
A yunomi cup, in three lucky designs.
Red daruma: a bright red cup, decorated with a large daruma face and yellow stripes. The daruma, a lucky figure inspired by the monk who founded Zen, symbolises perseverance: you paint in one eye when making a wish, then the second once the wish comes true.
Blue maneki neko: a navy blue cup, decorated with a white maneki neko with a raised paw, on a background of traditional patterns. The maneki neko, the "beckoning cat", is Japan's emblematic lucky charm, believed to bring good fortune and prosperity.
Red Mount Fuji: Mount Fuji in red stands out against an orange sky and a rising sun, above white waves. The red Fuji, akafuji, refers to the mountain set ablaze by the light of dawn; in Japan, it is an image of good omen.
The yunomi is the everyday Japanese teacup: tall and without a handle, it keeps tea hot.
It comes from the Toki-Tajimi region, Gifu Prefecture, home of Mino ceramics.
For sencha or genmaicha. Made in Japan.
