About the product

The highest quality brand of paulownia wood: "Aizu Paulownia"

In Mishima Town, Oku-Aizu, people have been caring for domestically produced paulownia wood for a long time, sparing no effort in everything from raising seedlings to planting and cultivating the wood in order to preserve the quality of the wood and the environment.
Aizu paulownia, which grows in areas with harsh winters, is characterized by the beauty of its silky pattern and its fine texture.
Furthermore, the porous nature of paulownia wood makes it one of the most insulating materials available, allowing it to maintain the perfect drinking temperature for a long time and preventing condensation from making the table wet, as would be the case with ceramic or glass.

"Paulownia x Phoenix"
The phoenix is ​​a legendary auspicious bird that has been revered since ancient China, and is said to take up residence in paulownia trees with the arrival of times of peace.
This legend spread to Japan during the Heian period, when paulownia and phoenix patterns began to be used on the clothing and furnishings of the emperor, and even today the combination of paulownia and phoenix is ​​considered an auspicious pattern. The "Paulownia x Phoenix" pattern is applied to the highest quality Aizu paulownia wood to create a shot glass that is perfect as a gift for celebrations or as a special sake cup for personal use.

Highly precise woodworking techniques

The woodturning of the premium shot glass "Aizu Paulownia x Ho-oh" is done by Katsusuke Arai. His natural dexterity and accumulated solid technical skills have enabled him to create a breathtakingly beautiful form and texture. The prevention of condensation is also a result of the woodturner's techniques and ingenuity.

Enjoy the changes in lacquerware with "Kijiro-nuri"

To preserve the beauty of the Aizu paulownia wood's texture while achieving a color that changes over time, the lacquer was applied by Yushin Sakane, a specialist in "Kijiro lacquering." Kijiro lacquering, which has a heavy, subdued luster, is the most advanced lacquering technique, and is the work of Yushin Sakane, who has devoted himself to studying Joboji lacquering (Iwate) for many years.
