Studio RYU (located in Shizukuishi), a Japanese iron jewelry and accessories company, has recently started a new technique to create beautiful metal art pieces. The collection of Japanese iron that is made with this technique is called “JAPAN IRON”.

Today I would like to introduce to you a new piece in this collection called the Japanese Style Sake Cup.

Simple, yet beautiful, the Japanese Style Sake Cup is made with traditional iron welding techniques and finished with a lacquer cover for a smooth and shiny look. The cup is lightweight and it fits comfortably in one’s palms. It’s the perfect way to enjoy sake!

Whether you use it for a sake cup, a dish, or simply a piece of art to display, the Japanese Iron Sake Cup is the perfect item to use if you want to spend a relaxing pastime.

Below is a video made by the producer of this product, showing the method of creating iron works. The process is very beautiful, so please take a look if you have the time!
