A Masterpiece by the World-Renowned Ukiyo-e Artist Katsushika Hokusai, Captured on a Glass Tray
This elegant glass tray brings Hokusai’s celebrated work into daily life, perfect for holding stationery or accessories and allowing you to keep a masterpiece close at hand. About Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) A ukiyo-e master of the late Edo period, Hokusai produced actor portraits, bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), and book illustrations. He also absorbed techniques from the Kanō school, Tosa school, Rinpa, as well as Chinese and Western painting styles. With his bold compositions, powerful sense of structure, and dynamic brushwork, Hokusai achieved a distinctive artistic vision whose influence extended even to the French Impressionists. His major works include Hokusai Manga, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, and One Thousand Pictures of the Sea. “Fine Wind, Clear Morning” (Gaifū Kaisei) The word gaifū refers to a southern wind. This masterpiece depicts the phenomenon seen in late summer to early autumn when Mt. Fuji, bathed in the morning sun, glows a deep red. Known affectionately as “Red Fuji,” the image has long been cherished both in Japan and abroad as an auspicious motif symbolizing good fortune. The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa-oki Namiura) Viewed from off the coast of Honmoku in present-day Yokohama, this work—along with Fine Wind, Clear Morning and Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge and Atake—is counted among Hokusai’s “Three Great Masterpieces.” Renowned worldwide as one of the most iconic works of Japanese ukiyo-e, it portrays towering waves tossing boats upon the sea, contrasted with the calm and dignified presence of Mount Fuji, a composition that has captivated people across eras and cultures.

[Sake Cup Infused with the Beauty of Hokuriku]
A collaboration with Echizen ware, a traditional craft from Fukui Prefecture. This exceptional piece features an ultra-thin lip—less than 1 millimeter thick—crafted entirely by hand using only the artisan's fingers, without trimming after wheel throwing, a feat once thought impossible in ceramics. To preserve the natural texture of the materials, genuine gold leaf is applied using lacquer as an adhesive. No topcoat is used, allowing the refined brilliance of the gold leaf to shine through to its fullest.

- Small Ochoko -

A vessel designed to let you fully enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of chilled sake. Its flared shape guides the sake smoothly along the rim, allowing the sharp, clean flavor to spread delightfully across the palate. This petite cup—perfect for a single sip—is especially recommended for fruity sakes such as ginjo-shu. Delicately smooth at the lip, the cup sparkles with genuine gold leaf. It evokes the image of scooping a moonlit reflection from the surface of water—an experience that brings a quiet, elegant joy to your heart. As time passes and you continue to use it, the gold leaf gradually blends with the natural contours of the cup, fading gracefully and developing a unique character—becoming a sake cup that is truly your own. It is a vessel that evolves with you, inviting you to enjoy the passage of time and the art of pairing sake with the perfect cup. Delivered in a special wooden box, it also makes a thoughtful gift for sake lovers or a refined present for someone special.
