💮 Japanese Colour Changing Sakura Cup
A Magical Take on Japanese Tradition
Crafted and hand painted by local Japanese artisans, inspired by the classic artworks of Edo Japan and artists like Kitagawa Utamaro. Each 杯 'Sakazuki' (sake cup) is painted with a special non-toxic thermochromic pigment ink, and then coated with a food grade clear ceramic glaze, to seal in the color changing ink.
Color Changing Feature: The color changes when the temperature of the hot color changing cup is raised with drinks such as tea, hot sake, or hot lemon water. The color changes when the temperature of the cold color changing cup is lowered with beverages like cold tea, chilled wine, or cold water. The effect will occur quickly with more drastic temperature changes and a slow blooming of the Cherry Blossoms with liquids closer to room temperature. The pigment is a temperature-sensitive material with a high temperature resistance of 608 °F

Due to the delicate thermal reaction, there are rare cases where certain parts of the world are too hot or too cold that the cups arrive fully bloomed and activated out of the box. In this case, once brought back to room temperature they will return to their originally design. Gentle hand wash is recommended to preserve the longevity of the cups and ink design, dishwashers are not recommended.
