Japanese Guinomi & Sakazuki
Small Japanese drinking vessels are traditionally used for sake, with different shapes and sizes serving different purposes.
The term guinomi generally refers to a small sake drinking cup, while sakazuki commonly describes a shallow cup used for drinking sake, particularly in traditional or ceremonial settings.
These miniature cups are also popular with collectors because Japanese ceramics often combine functional tableware with distinctive decoration, regional imagery and cultural references.
This set is particularly appealing because each cup represents a different famous Japanese place, turning the collection into a small decorative journey through Japan.
Original Japanese Presentation Box
The original box is an important part of the set and adds to its charm as a collectible Japanese object.
The long rectangular box measures approximately 29 cm in length, allowing all five cups to be stored together.
For collectors, retaining the original packaging can also make the set more interesting as a complete vintage Japanese souvenir or gift set.
