Hand-Painted Mino Ware Gosu Tako Cup and Saucer Set - Traditional Japanese Ceramic Tea Cup for Matcha, Coffee, or Dessert - Elegant Home & Cafe Tableware

Product Description

"タコ(Tako)" means "octopus.". And?"唐草(Karakusa)" means decorative arabesques, especially those with circular or spiralling vines.?

Since the leaves look like the suction part of an octopus, the drawing pattern is named as "タコ唐草(Tako?Karakusa)".

On the other hand, the pronunciation of the octopus (TAKO) in Japanese is similar to "euphoria/ 多幸(TAKOU)". So, it has been used?as an auspicious pattern for a long time.

As every?piece?has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
