Oborozuki Lacquered Cup – Size L【Free Shipping】
Oborozuki Lacquered Cup – A Hazy Moon in Gold Leaf on Natural Wood
This elegant cup is made from natural Japanese Zelkova, its grain beautifully highlighted by the soft glow of a hazy moon depicted in genuine gold leaf. It adds a refined touch to both Japanese and Western dining scenes.
Wooden cups are excellent for warm drinks, as they do not easily transfer heat to the hand. The form fits comfortably in the palm, and when filled with a hot beverage, the warmth is gently conveyed.
Zelkova wood is known for its fine grain, durability, and water resistance, making it ideal for long-lasting tableware.
A New Aesthetic of Functional Beauty — Enjoying Natural and Traditional Beauty in Modern Life
This piece is not only beautiful to look at, but thoughtfully designed for contemporary living. It combines warmth with clean lines, creating a harmonious balance.
By placing a gold-leaf moon onto the natural grain of wood, the grain itself becomes a serene landscape—resulting in tableware with quiet presence and elegance.
The cup is a culmination of master craftsmanship. Skilled woodworkers shave the Zelkova wood thinly, applying a fine lacquer that enhances its natural beauty. The moon is delicately rendered by a foil artisan, using only gold leaf to evoke the atmosphere of a moon floating in the night sky.

- Crafted with Carefully Selected Natural Materials
- The Oborozuki cup is made with a deep respect for natural materials. Each piece is carved from dense wood that has grown slowly in cold climates, chosen for its fine grain and strength. The wood is cut and shaped with precision to bring out its most beautiful grain patterns. Even after carving, great care is taken during the drying process—an essential step that ensures durability and brings out the true character of the wood. This commitment to quality is what gives the cup its refined beauty and warmth.
- A Masterful Fusion of Traditional Craftsmanship The plate is a culmination of skilled artisanry. A seasoned woodturner carves the wood into a thin, elegant form, then finishes it with layers of lacquer that enhance the natural beauty of the material. The lacquer, reminiscent of a quiet and peaceful night sky, is applied through a meticulous process of repeatedly rubbing in and wiping off the urushi. This technique gradually builds up the deep, lustrous black characteristic of high-quality lacquerware. The moon is created by a master of gold leafing, who uses only genuine gold to depict a gently shadowed, atmospheric moon—an expression of subtle beauty and emotional depth.
- Elevate Everyday Dining with Subtle Elegance The sharp silhouette of the Oborozuki plate brings a modern sophistication to your everyday meals. Imagine a simple yet charming serving of temari sushi—small, ball-shaped sushi you can easily prepare at home. When arranged on the plate, even a casual dish transforms into something festive and refined. From between the pieces of sushi, the soft golden glow of the moon peeks through. As each piece is served, more of the moon gradually appears—creating a moment of quiet beauty and turning an ordinary table into a poetic scene.
