This shochu cup features a beautiful pattern of fine cracks called crazing, which is unique to "White Satsuma," a type of Satsuma ware.
The technique used involves drilling holes in the body and sealing them with glaze.
Originally, the hole was made for measuring the amount of shochu and hot water used in the cup.
The practical holes allow light to pass through and blend beautifully into the overall design.

With its simple design, it can be enjoyed not only for alcohol but also as a cup that can easily be incorporated into your daily life.

Satsuma ware is a traditional craft of Kagoshima Prefecture and comes in two varieties: white Satsuma and black Satsuma.
White Satsuma is a beautiful white pottery that originated in the early Edo period. It is intricately crafted, was loved by people of high status, and was even exported overseas.
Black Satsuma is characterized by its jet-black luster, and is deeply rooted in people's lives as a simple type of tableware for everyday use.
