Tsugari Vidro Four Seasons Sake Cup Set

Tsugaru Vidro (津軽びいどろ）refers to the traditional glassware produced in the Tsugaru region of Aomori prefecture. This set of four sake cups captures the beauty of Japan's changing seasons through vibrant, handcrafted glassware. Each piece is meticulously created by skilled artisans, recognized as "Aomori Meisters" for their exceptional craftsmanship. The glassware’s allure lies in its stunning array of colors, which reflect the rich scenery of Japan's four seasons.

Creating the unique colors of Tsugaru Vidro is an intricate process, requiring precise ingredient mixing. Even a slight variation in composition—just 0.1 grams per kilogram—can result in flawed pieces. Temperature control and material handling are also crucial during the melting process. Achieving the ideal color when the glassware is formed demands careful attention to every detail. This process can take years to perfect, requiring patience, passion and true expertise.

These beautiful cups are a celebration of nature's shifting hues and designed to complement each season:

• Spring : Enjoy during spring while admiring the falling cherry blossoms.
• Summer: Perfect for summer, savoring under the shade.
• Autumn: Relish in autumn, with the sight of red leaves and the moon.
• Winter: Best for winter, quietly observing the snow-covered landscape.

These cups not only bring seasonal beauty to your dining table but can also be used as decorative pieces. The carefully crafted box can be placed upright to serve as a charming display case.
