Embrace the regal heritage of the Shimadzu Purple Satsuma Kiriko large sake cup. This distinctive purple hue was developed with great care, inspired by the symbolic color used in the armor cords of Lord Nariakira Shimazu, a color deeply tied to the prestige of the Satsuma domain. Unlike the traditional purple used during the Edo period, gold has been added to the glass, imbuing it with a glamorous, radiant brilliance.

Deep colors and a precision lattice of chrysanthemum patterns create a contrast of light and shadow. After shaping, the rim is reheated and softened for a smooth finish. The transparency of high-grade crystal stands out, with each piece possessing its own unique character. Suitable for use as a sake cup, small dish, or vessel for delicacies.
