Suisho Hanazume (Crystal Flower) sencha cup

A very unique cup from Hasami, Nagasaki prefecture. Cherry blossoms created by individually hand- punching each petal, then filling them in with "secret crystal", a material whose exact properties are known only to the craftsmen of the kiln!

Comes in a paper gift box.
