Kyoyaki Kiyomizu-yaki Teacup, Small, Red Four Gentlemen Design, Kaho Kiln, 60th Birthday Gift, Respect for the Aged Day Gift, UGS670-02

Kyo-yaki Kiyomizu-yaki is one of Kyoto's most representative traditional crafts. Its origins are said to be due to the many kilns, including those of Kiyomizu Rokubei and Takahashi Michihachi, located around Gojozaka, the approach to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Plum blossoms, bamboo, chrysanthemums, and orchids, which are likened to gentlemen for their noble shapes and qualities, are meticulously painted in blue and red enamel. This teacup is a timeless favorite. As this is handmade and hand-painted, slight variations in size, color, and pattern may occur.
