Two Ways to Order

Both options uphold the same level of craftsmanship and quality.

From the Maker

After testing dozens of gourd varieties, I selected just one to use in every piece I make.

With urushi lacquer, each gourd is suitable for whiskey and warm drinks—simple to use and easy to care for every day.

I hope this gourd brings a touch of charm and something special to your day.

About Urushi

Why Only Three Colors

I use only natural dyes—so the palette stays true to red, black, and brown.

A sip, a moment, a pause.

You may notice a mild natural scent from the Urushi at first. It will gradually fade with use.
