Introducing the newly designed natural wooden 'KOROMO' series, handmade from Isuke Shoten in Kyoto with more than 180 years of history.
The 'KOROMO' series, meaning a dress, is made of organic wood grains and textures, a natural urushi lacquer and a ‘Mackie’ lacquer painting all in the one cup.
By making full use of the wood processing technology "Rokuro grind", the product is surprisingly light.
Also, due to the nature of wood & natural ‘urushi’ lacquer, the cup has low thermal conductivity.
Designed by Satoshi Umeno ‘Makie’ finish.
