This Japanese lacquer sakazuki cup (御盃) is a refined ceremonial vessel traditionally used for sake during formal occasions and rituals.
Crafted in a classic shallow, wide form, the cup is finished in a deep vermillion red lacquer, symbolizing joy, prosperity, and celebration in Japanese culture. At its center, a gold geometric motif adds a dignified contrast, catching the light with subtle elegance. The smooth, glossy surface highlights the precision of the lacquer work and the timeless aesthetic of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
The sakazuki is presented with its original wooden storage box, a hallmark of authentic Japanese objects, offering both protection and cultural context. Compact in size, it is ideal for ceremonial use, display, or as a meaningful collector’s piece.
Both functional and symbolic, this sakazuki cup embodies the spirit of Japanese hospitality and tradition—perfect for sake ceremonies, weddings, or as a sophisticated decorative object.
