Kutani Ware Japanese Sochu Tea Cup - Great Wave Kanagawa

The "Great Wave off Kanagawa" (神奈川沖浪裏, Kanagawa-oki Nami Ura) is one of the most famous Japanese artworks, created by the artist Katsushika Hokusai in the early 1830s. It is a woodblock print from his series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and depicts a massive, towering wave about to crash down on boats, with Mount Fuji visible in the background.

Yunomi is often referred to as a "sushi cup" in some settings, particularly in sushi restaurants. The cup used to serve tea alongside sushi is typically a yunomi. These cups are taller, handle-less, and made for everyday use, just like the cups used in sushi restaurants to serve green tea.

Kutani ware is a type of traditional Japanese porcelain known for its bright colours and detailed, hand-painted designs. It started in the 17th century in the Kutani region of Japan. The pieces are famous for using five main colours—green, yellow, red, purple, and blue—and often feature nature, animals, and landscapes.

Each piece of Kutani ware is handmade and painted, making it unique. The porcelain is durable and can be used for everyday purposes or as decorative items. It's popular among collectors for its beauty and craftsmanship.
