The process begins with underglaze blue painting followed by glazing and firing at 1,300°C; subsequently, traditional Arita overglaze enamels are applied, and the piece is fired again at 800°C. Because the piece is fired after the application of each color, the creation of a single work involves anywhere from four to ten separate firings. This style—also known as *Iro-Nabeshima*—originated around 1675, with pieces initially crafted as furnishings for the castle and as gifts for the Shogunate, feudal lords, and the Imperial Court; these techniques and traditions continue to be preserved to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe Lion\u003cbr\u003eThe lion has long reigned as the \"king of beasts,\" serving as a symbol of valor, grandeur, and authority. In Japan, the motif gained popularity within the warrior class around the Muromachi period and has since been featured in a wide variety of forms, including ceramics and paintings. It is also believed that having a lion bite one's head brings good health and wards off illness; consequently, the *shishimai* (lion dance) has traditionally been performed during the New Year and on other auspicious occasions. Revered since ancient times as a harbinger of good fortune and a bringer of happiness—as well as a force that drives away pestilence—the lion is considered a highly auspicious motif.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eLimited Edition Products by Master Fujii Kinsai Arita Saga Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe number of each production are very limited \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eand we sell only AAA+ (Finest quality item only).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: red; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003ePlate Size \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003eHeight 5.00 cm (1.969 \")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003eDiameter 5.40 cm (2.126 \")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: red; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eDelivery Time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003eWe will ship your order within 10days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/4_f3a30887-bea1-4dc5-a10e-99bc6c1b855b.jpg?v=1785551418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/1_5708fd49-82f9-4c36-bffb-95f1ffb0332d.jpg?v=1785551418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/2_35dd9e0a-afba-44cc-8219-bcf4deb29e8f.jpg?v=1785551418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/3_273f60c1-2e83-4129-a00c-5b5792ab47f5.jpg?v=1785551418\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fujii Kinsai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4320335043,"sku":"","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/products\/1_c7d4c7f4-da97-4ed6-939a-a14fad2702a9.jpg?v=1436054834","url":"https:\/\/www.teamwakon.com\/products\/fujii-kinsai-arita-japan-kosometsuke-shishi-lion-sake-cup-guinomi-free-shipping","provider":"Magnificent Items from Japan (Team Wakon Japan)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
