This cheerful little tea cup is bursting with life. Hand-painted in the traditional Yoshidaya style, it features a colourful bird perched among vibrant blossoms — all set against a bold, sunshine-yellow glaze that instantly lifts the mood.
Crafted in Japan using Kutani-yaki techniques, the cup showcases the signature Yoshidaya colour palette: yellow, green, blue, and red. Kutani ware is a type of traditional Japanese porcelain known for its bright colours and detailed, hand-painted designs. It started in the 17th century in the Kutani region of Japan. The pieces are famous for using five main colours—green, yellow, red, purple, and blue—and often feature nature, animals, and landscapes.
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.
