A little bluebird perches quietly among blooming sakura (cherry blossoms), hand-painted with beautiful detail on a soft, speckled glaze. It’s the kind of cup that makes your tea or coffee break feel extra calm.
This piece is made in Japan using traditional Kutani-yaki techniques, in the distinct Yoshidaya style. Yoshidaya refers to a kiln that operated in the early 1800s (Edo period) and was known for its bright, vivid colours — especially yellow, green, blue, and purple — often used in nature scenes.
The bluebird in Japanese symbolism often represents happiness, hope, and good news, while cherry blossoms remind us to appreciate fleeting beauty and fresh beginnings. Together, they make this mug feel like a breath of spring.
Each piece of Kutani ware is handmade, making it unique. The porcelain is durable and can be used for everyday purposes or as decorative items. It's popular among collectors for its beauty and craftsmanship.

Even more beautiful than I expected them to be.
Lovely illustration and good size.
Love the unique designs that Yorokobi offers - I first saw this in a small teashop in Takayama and missed the opportunity to buy it then. To my surprise I could get the exact same beautiful hand painted tea cup set right here in Australia. It brings me so much joy when making tea in this set.
Sent it to my sister( who has 2 cats) she absolutely loved it & is now scrolling through your shop, looking for more!!
The delivery was incredibly fast, arriving in just two days. The packaging was flawless, neat, and well-protected. The items themselves exceeded expectations—better than the pictures and of excellent quality! I will definitely buy again. Thank you!
