Description
Beautiful mid-century Kutani tea set with 5 lidded tea cups. Beautiful red and gold painted kanji in excellent pre-owned condition. There are small scratches consistent with the age of the items, but there is no damage. Please see photos.A few people have asked why there are "only" 5 teacups. 5 is the correct number and there are two main reasons:
a traditional tea ceremony strives for asymmetry so odd numbers are desirable
the number 4 is bad luck in Japan and is associated with death. If one cup from a set a 5 breaks, another cup is often discarded to avoid having 4 in the set!
