This raden-inlaid lacquer sake cup is crafted by KOKEN MURATA, a contemporary Japanese lacquer artist. This piece features a black interior and exterior, is offered in the smallest size, and is presented without a box.
As the cup is raised to the mouth, the rhodium inlay at the base shimmers like stars suspended in space, drawing the gaze inward and creating a deeply immersive drinking experience. The subtle black-on-black finish exudes a quiet, introspective elegance, allowing the natural radiance of the mother-of-pearl to emerge.
Its compact size is ideal for savoring a single pour of sake, making it a refined companion for intimate, contemplative moments. This product represents a beautifully balanced expression of modern urushi craftsmanship, blending functionality with poetic depth.
