Moonlight and Sunlight
This is a pair of coffee cups that capture the sparkling essence of moonlight and sunlight on both the cup and saucer. These cups possess an unquantifiable power, bringing both serenity to the heart and a burst of energy.

Eternal Radiance in Genuine Gold and Platinum
Embracing opulent design, we have encircled both the saucer and cup with radiant gold and platinum accents, showcasing golden gilding and the silver-white brilliance of platinum. We employed the technique known as "Honnokawa," adorning the lip of the cup with genuine gold and silver, creating a design of utmost refinement that is rarely seen in Japanese ceramics.

Enchanting Patterns
As you gaze upon these coffee cups, you will be captivated by the shimmering starry sky, the obsidian-like patterns resembling black obsidian, and the profound craftsmanship of each detail. Each intricately designed element reflects the mystique of Arita-yaki pottery and the skill of our artisans.

Recipient of the Nitten Special Selection Award
True to its name, "Aokimyo," this exceptional coffee cup is a limited edition creation by the renowned master, Yuji Kobatake, who received the prestigious Nitten Special Selection Award at Japan's largest art exhibition, the Nitten. Aokimyo features the unique "Yohensen Yuteki Tentei" technique, which emerged as an evolution of the celebrated Koyosei technique that warlords such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi highly valued. This technique is extraordinarily challenging, with the majority of pieces deemed unusable after each firing.

Luxurious Pair Coffee Cups
We have meticulously chosen the highest-quality natural clay from Amakusa, Kyushu, to craft these cups. Fired at temperatures exceeding 1300 degrees Celsius, these Arita-yaki porcelain cups possess a silky touch, exceptional hardness, and are impermeable, making them easy to clean. There is no earthy odor associated with ceramics, allowing you to fully savor the aroma of your beverages. They excel at heat retention and cold preservation, making them suitable for various occasions regardless of age or generation.

For Those Who Seek More Than Ordinary Coffee Cups
To elevate our popular "Aokimyo" series to a higher level of modern elegance, we adorned the edges with genuine gold and platinum accents. These coffee cups, with their dazzling interplay of jet-black contours and radiant gold and platinum luster, create an upscale coffee-drinking experience for sophisticated individuals during their breaks.

Conveying Dignity and Auspiciousness Through Gifts
These refined coffee cups radiate an air of mature sophistication, making them an ideal pair gift for couples, a choice for corporate gifts, or a gesture for expressing gratitude. They enhance tabletop elegance and create an atmosphere of grace, delighting hosts and guests alike. The name "Hikari" (Radiance) and "Yogokushou" (Moonlight and Sunlight) are inscribed on the paulownia wood box, resonating with auspicious connotations, making it an excellent choice for gifts.
