Ohori Soma Ware Matsunaga Kiln Teacup A Insulated Teacup Perfect As a Gift for a 60th Birthday Double-Layered (2.2 Inches) - Stylish, Double-layered

Ohori Soma ware is a traditional craft that has been around for 300 years in Namie Town, Fukushima Prefecture. Although the craftsmen left Namie Town after the Great East Japan Earthquake, they moved their workshop to Saigo Village out of a desire to preserve the traditions and culture that had been passed down from their ancestors. 🔵【Double-layered ware keeps your hands cool】 The inside and outside are fitted together before baking, creating a double-layered structure. This is one of the distinctive features of Ohori Soma ware: double-layered ware. This means your hands won't get hot even when holding a teacup filled with hot tea, and it won't cool down easily. It has excellent heat and cold insulation properties, so even when you put cold things in it, it won't condense and won't get lukewarm. 🔵 [The unrivaled auspicious "running horse"] One of the defining features of Ohori Soma ware is the horse design. Known as the "left horse," "running horse," or "running horse," the horse always faces left. This is because it is believed to represent a symbol of "unrivaled," and for 300 years, it has been a popular auspicious item in Fukushima Prefecture, used as a gift for celebrations such as business openings, housewarmings, wedding favors, and thank-you gifts. 🔵【Gifts for loved ones, not only for individuals but also for corporations】In today's world where things are so commonplace, people naturally prefer things with a history. Ohori Soma ware is considered a lucky charm that is second to none, making it a popular gift for individuals as well as corporations for anniversaries, retirements, and inaugurations. 🔵Size: Diameter 69mm x Height 90mm Capacity: 100cc 🔵Manufacturer: Ohori Soma-yaki Matsunaga Kiln 🔵MADE IN JAPAN 🔵Delivery to Hokkaido, Okinawa, and remote islands may take 3 days or more.
