Yuki Wood Mountain Lacquerware Wooden Cup - Black Beechwood Color

Moheim Yuki Wood, a black beechwood lacquerware cup, is crafted piece by piece from pristine logs by skilled woodworkers in the Yamanaka Onsen region of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. "Moki no Yamanaka"—a region renowned for its woodworking techniques and lacquerware production—still sees artisans using their hands to imbue each wooden cup with their accumulated experience and precise touch.

The cup's body achieves an extreme thinness and lightness through craftsmanship, maintaining a stable structure within its slender proportions. The vertical material shavings used in its production process give the wooden cup both lightness and excellent strength and durability, making it resistant to deformation or shrinkage and suitable for long-term daily use.

The cup's rounded and understated shape is inspired by the quietly accumulating snowscape of a mountain hot spring in winter, exuding a soft exterior yet a strong interior, steady and substantial. To find the perfect curve proportions for the palm of the hand, the craftsman experimented countless times, ultimately achieving this warm and comfortable feel. The selected beech wood has clear grain and a solid texture, showcasing the natural wood grain's layers and sense of strength within its dark tone.

As a wooden cup, Yuki Wood is not limited by beverage temperature, making it suitable for hot tea, cold drinks, or everyday sips. Its understated yet sophisticated black beech color blends seamlessly into various life settings, becoming an everyday object you'll want to reach for.

The superior materials and the craftsmanship complement each other, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to be fully preserved. Whether used alone or chosen in pairs as a gift, it is a piece of wood that can accumulate sentiment over time and accompany daily life.
