A Kutani sake cup set of five, hand-painted in the gosai (five-colour) overglaze palette and presented in a kiri wooden gift box. The theme is “Gosōka” — five grass-flowers — so each ochoko carries its own seasonal motif while the five read as one collection: iris (kakitsubata), peony (botan), camellia with a blue blossom, gold-lined bamboo, and an aka-e plum-and-pine on a warm red-clay ground.

At about 50 ml each, they suit sake service, tasting flights, a home bar, or shared toasts — and the wooden box makes the set ready to gift.

• Made by Kutani Bizan / Kutani-yaki in Ishikawa, Japan, curated by ZenKiln; distributed via Tōjudō

Ceramic, with bodies that vary by cup (including crackle-glaze and red-clay grounds). Hand-wash only — not microwave or dishwasher safe (overglaze enamel + gold). Slight variation in colour and brushwork is part of a hand-painted set.

Care instructions

Hand-wash only — not microwave or dishwasher safe (gosai overglaze enamel + gold detailing can abrade).

Wipe gently and dry well; handle with care to protect the painted surface, rim, and gold.

Because each cup is individually hand-painted, slight differences in colour, brushwork, and glaze are normal and part of the set's character.
