※ Additional Explanation

The Swimming Red Sea Bream Guinomi is more than a sake cup—it’s a celebratory emblem. The red sea bream, often presented during special banquets and New Year’s feasts, has long symbolized blessings and good luck in Japan. In this piece, the fish glides effortlessly through deep lacquer waters, its scales rendered with vivid grace and subtle glimmers that reflect under light.

Wajima lacquerware, known for its multilayered strength and beauty, envelops the cup in a protective aura. Each stroke, each curve, speaks to the patience of the artisan, layering tradition over time like sediment forming precious stone. The result is a vessel that resonates with warmth—holding not just sake, but moments worth remembering.

Whether placed on a ceremonial table or held quietly under moonlight, this cup celebrates more than taste—it honors heritage, joy, and the slow rhythm of life at its most refined.
