What is a Sakazuki?

A Sakazuki is a small sake cup traditionally used in ceremonial settings, such as weddings or formal gatherings. Its form encourages a slower way of drinking, where aroma, temperature, and texture can be appreciated more fully. Beyond its function, the sakazuki carries cultural meaning of symbolizing connection and exchange, while also serving as a small canvas where form, texture, and craftsmanship can be quietly appreciated.

This limited box set brings together twelve sakazuki cups, each created by a different artist from across Japan. Spanning both ceramic and glass, the collection reflects a wide range of approaches — from traditional craftsmanship to contemporary expression. Each piece carries the distinct language of its maker, shaped by their materials, techniques, and personal sensibilities. 

The set is housed in a wooden box designed for both storage and display, accompanied by a leather strap that secures the contents while adding a tactile, understated finish.
