Coffee Cup and Saucer with Sunflower Motif by Kousai Kasahara A Master of Arita Ware
This vibrant coffee cup and saucer set is the work of Kousai Kasahara, a leading figure in the art of Arita ware. The surface bursts with sunflowers in full bloom, rendered in *sometsuke* and *aka-e* overglaze painting, as if capturing the warmth and radiance of sunlight itself. Bright yellow petals and vivid blue-green leaves spread dynamically across the glossy red ground, bringing a sense of hope and cheer to all who behold it.
Entirely hand-painted, each brushstroke reflects the exceptional skill of a certified Traditional Craftsperson. Delicate geometric patterns grace the rims of both the cup and saucer, adding a sense of refinement and elevating the overall elegance. Intricate detailing even extends to the foot and handle, showcasing an uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship.
A luxurious piece that transforms your everyday coffee ritual into a special moment, this set also makes a thoughtful and impressive gift.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
