This ochoko sake cup features plums and chrysanthemums. Kutani ware uses a brush for painting with Japanese coloring paint, as you can see the painted part is slightly thickened. 

In Japan, both plums and chrysanthemums are said to be auspicious. It is a perfect sake cup for celebratory occasions, such as New Year’s Day, birthdays, and housewarming parties. It is also a perfect gift for your friends and family who love sake.
