This set of 5 Japanese yunomi tea cups is great for dessert, tea and other hot or cold drinks. They are made in Gifu Prefecture, which is an area in Japan specialising in mino ware.
Japanese people love asymmetry and the number 5.
Five are the most well-entertained for the host in traditional home gatherings, especially tea ceremonies. They have specific seating arrangements for the ceremonies.
Also, to appeal to a broad, general audience, such as families with more than one kid, ancient Japanese pottery kiln started to use five as a set for tableware sale. They continue to use this tradition now.
This cup set is great for everyday use and for gifting this season.
As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
