Both cup and lid are painted with swirling indigo water currents, scattered dots and drifting maple leaves in fresh green and autumn brown, plus tiny outlined cherry-blossom petals in red. It's a lovely size for green tea, and the lid keeps the tea hot and holds in its fragrance while it steeps. It also makes a charming little lidded pot for sugar, rings or trinkets. The glaze is in good condition, and the lid fits well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaple leaves floating on flowing water is a classic Japanese design known as \u003cem\u003eTatsutagawa\u003c\/em\u003e, after the Tatsuta River in Nara, famous for its autumn colours. It goes back to a celebrated poem by Ariwara no Narihira (825–880), included in the \u003cem\u003eHyakunin Isshu\u003c\/em\u003e poetry anthology. In it, he marvels that even in the age of the gods no one had heard of the river being tie-dyed crimson by fallen leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68135954776277,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6006\/3189\/files\/vh-dscf2954.jpg?v=1794136244","url":"https:\/\/smallthings.in\/products\/japanese-lidded-yunomi-with-maple-leaves-on-flowing-water-tatsutagawa","provider":"Small Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
