Mug Size: Diameter 8cm x Height 9.3cm [Gift Box Specification: Comes in a special presentation box] Country of Origin: Japan (Ishikawa Prefecture), Material: Ceramics (Kutani Ware) Kutani Ware x Kanazawa Gold Leaf (Gold Leaf) Kanazawa accounts for 98% of Japan's gold leaf production, and a remarkable 100% of silver leaf production (Kanazawa gold leaf). Finishing gold leaf to a uniform thickness without losing its luster, even down to 1/10,000th of a millimeter, is extremely difficult and requires skilled craftsmanship. The artisanal skill to stretch a coin-sized piece of gold leaf to the size of a tatami mat, combined with the humid climate with frequent rain and snow and the excellent water quality, are the secrets to the high quality of Kanazawa gold leaf. This is a masterpiece that beautifully fuses the traditional crafts of Kaga, a region with 360 years of Kutani ware and 400 years of Kanazawa gold leaf.

Kutani ware is highly regarded worldwide as one of Japan's three major types of colored porcelain and as a representative traditional craft of Japan, "Japan Kutani."
