Saigo Takamori Wooden Sake Cup Pair Set, Made in Japan, Natural Wood Sake Ware

This is a pair of wooden sake cups (guinomi) by Saigo Takamori, a hero of the late Edo period.

One cup is engraved with the characters Saigo Takamori, and the other with the Saigo family crest. This set is recommended for history buffs and fans of Kagoshima.

The rounded shape fits comfortably in the hand, and the warmth and gentle mouthfeel unique to natural wood are appealing. It's perfect not only as a sake vessel for shochu or Japanese sake but also as an interior decoration or collectible.

The box has a MADE IN JAPAN marking on the back.

*Please note that natural wood may produce resin (according to the box description).
The inside of the cups may show natural wood color variations or areas resembling resin marks, but these are considered to be within normal use conditions.
The wood is likely Hinoki/Cedar or Pine-based natural wood, but the exact type is unknown.
