Set of 2 Rock Cups - JS Mokko Paulownia Motif 300ml

The traditional Arita-yaki pattern "Kikkō Kiri Mon" has been cherished for many years as a very vibrant design filled with auspicious motifs. The paulownia, regarded as a sacred plant as it is said to be the tree on which the phoenix perches, is combined with the Kikkō design, which is a stylized cross-section of a sliced melon, symbolizing prayers for posterity and prosperity. Within this design are scattered auspicious motifs such as the phoenix, cherry blossoms, bamboo, plum blossoms, chrysanthemum, and the seven treasures. The phoenix is a mythical sacred bird symbolizing good omens, cherry blossoms represent vitality, bamboo signifies resilience and unyielding strength, plum blossoms symbolize purity and wisdom as an emblem of celebration, chrysanthemums are a symbol of longevity, and the seven treasures, derived from Buddhist scriptures, represent wealth and prosperity. Additionally, the seven treasures pattern, composed of interlocking golden rings, symbolizes "infinite prosperity of descendants." The wide mouth makes it easy to add ice cubes, and since it is made of porcelain, it can be used for both hot and cold beverages.
