Product Description

The Urushi-ma cup is a collaboration of traditional Japanese craftsmanship from three of Japan's most renowned regions: Ishikawa, Niigata, and Fukui.

• Ishikawa Prefecture: Known for its lacquerware techniques and gold leaf application.   
• Niigata Prefecture: Famous for its metal polishing techniques, especially in the city of Tsubame-Sanjo.   
• Fukui Prefecture: Renowned for its traditional washi paper making.   

Product Features

• Superior Stainless Steel: The inner surface of the stainless steel cup is meticulously polished using Japan's world-renowned polishing techniques. The bottom and lower part feature a spiral polish for creating foam, while the middle to upper part has a mirror polish for producing a fine foam. This design results in a creamy foam, perfect for enjoying carbonated beverages.
• Excellent Insulation: Double-walled construction provides exceptional heat retention and cold insulation, keeping your drinks at the ideal temperature.

• Black Sandalwood Series: Using an ancient technique of ink wash painting, we've created flowing patterns and adorned the cup with a black sandalwood lacquer. The "tame urushi" (thick lacquer) used for the black sandalwood lacquer develops various hues over time, primarily due to exposure to ultraviolet light. This means that each cup will develop a unique color and patina based on the owner's lifestyle. By combining the popularity of stainless steel in summer and lacquerware in winter, this cup offers elegance and versatility for year-round use.
