Have you ever seen a glass of wine or whiskey spinning around in a familiar way? ??
"Swaring" is a gesture that makes the scent of sake stand out by letting the sake poured into a glass come into contact with the air.
Utilizing the potter's wheel technology of Yamanaka lacquerware, a new cup with a cute design is now available!
The zelkova tree is thickly hollowed out, and the structure is such that it rises up under the weight of the tree, and the bottom is rounded, so it is designed to sway for a while and enjoy the aroma of wine and coffee.
The pattern that looks black on the side is a changing technique called [Murakumonuri] that uses the soot of Japanese candles.
Soot is added before the lacquer hardens, creating a pattern reminiscent of black clouds and flame fluctuations.
Currently, there is only one craftsman who paints Murakumo in the mountains. In the future, we will also carry out a human resources development business at the same time to train young craftsmen who aim to become lacquer craftsmen.
SUWARI Murakumo Nuri will be introduced on NHK BS Premium "Ippin".
