The Art of Indigo Modern Hasami Ware Cup "Tako-Karakusa Pattern"

Experience the perfect harmony of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and contemporary design. This Hasami Ware (Hasami-yaki) Soba Choco cup features the iconic "Tako-Karakusa" (Octopus Vine) pattern, a motif symbolizing vitality and longevity. In this modern interpretation, the hand-painted indigo strokes offer a playful yet sophisticated energy that fits seamlessly into any modern kitchen.

Product Highlights

• Artisan Craftsmanship: Each cup is individually hand-painted by skilled artisans in Hasami, Nagasaki. The slight variations in the indigo (Gosu) depth and brushwork make every piece unique.

• 360-Degree Design: As seen in the Cup the intricate detailing extends to the inner rim, ensuring the cup is beautiful from every angle—even as you take your last sip.

• The Beauty of Indigo: The deep blue contrast against the crisp white porcelain creates a clean, "Japan Modern" aesthetic that complements both Eastern and Western table settings.

Versatility Beyond Soba

While traditionally used for buckwheat noodle dipping sauce, the "Soba Choco" is famous for its incredible versatility.
