Yunomi

Yunomi is the most popular type of Japanese tea cups. They are used when enjoying tea alone or with friends, in an informal setting. The design of this 160ml teacup features Seigaiha (青海波) – "blue ocean waves" – a traditional pattern in Japanese teaware that represents waves, symbolizing the flow of life.

This 135 ml Sendan Tokusa Yunomi is a sturdy, well-balanced porcelain teacup with a clean, rhythmic pattern that wraps around the cup's inside and outside. The fine blue lines have a pleasant irregularity that gives the surface a feel of movement. The lines shift in density, catching light slightly differently depending on the angle.

The form of this 185ml cup is classic Yunomi – a traditional Japanese teacup, most often used for non-powdered, loose-leaf green tea, and it is suited to the style of Senchado. It holds a good amount without feeling oversized, and the slightly flared rim makes sipping easy.
