Traditional Hand-Painted Soba Cup
This is a soba choko with a somewhat nostalgic atmosphere. 
The design, which looks like it has been cut out from a landscape, captivates your attention. Another key point is the thin dots created by mixing iron powder into the glaze. With its quaint appearance, it seems like it will bring you a relaxing time. 
A versatile cup that can be used in a variety of ways
Make some coffee or tea and take a break with a snack. Use it as a soba choko on soba or somen days. 
It's great to use as a sake vessel for evening drinks, or to hold snacks. I'm looking forward to thinking about how to use it today.

Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products.
The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. [Individual differences] 
Because each piece is hand-painted by a craftsman, the shading of each pattern may vary. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Each painting is done by hand, so the thickness of the lines may not be uniform. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes]
〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

Arita ware
Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many items that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.
