Tentang Sakura Cangkir

Dia merancang Sakura untuk memanfaatkan bahan kayu secara efisien tanpa membuang sumber daya alam. Bentuknya yang simetri menampilkan permukaan melengkung yang menawarkan kecocokan kedua tangan secara alami dan meningkatkan butiran kayu yang indah. Lapisan tepi yang halus menciptakan jangkauan yang lembut ke mulut, yang dibuat dengan tangan secara individual oleh pengrajin tradisional Jepang. Tali warna campuran putih dan krem yang dihias sebagai tempat cangkir dengan simpul ular kecil yang diikat adalah aksen desain yang tidak sederhana.

He discussed about the shape with the craftsmen and considered to make the samples. Finally, they made it. Its shape is just fit in hands and a thin lip of the cup makes a soft touching, which is created by Japanese traditional craftsmanship. He thinks that Sakura cup never make it without Japanese craftsmen skill. He wants to serve some tea which is served with Sakura cup in break time.
