Berserk Mark of Sacrifice Wooden Gold Leaf maki-e Cup and Silver Leaf maki-e Cup(the product is made using the Yamanaka lacquer ware technique, a traditional craft from Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan dating back 450 years.)

Product Description and Characteristics:

This is a high-quality traditional craft product that utilizes the techniques of Yamanaka-nuri,
a traditional craft of Yamanaka, Ishikawa Prefecture, created with the outstanding skills of world-class wood craftsmen. It is the product that is completely different from any other types of character products we have produced to date.

Unlike porcelain, ceramics, and metal, wood has low thermal conductivity, so it retains the temperature of both hot and cold objects while not transmitting heat or cold to the hand that holds it.

The Berserk Mark of Sacrifice Wooden Gold Leaf maki-e Cup is a wonderful work of art that expresses the advanced technique of maki-e lacquer artisans who apply real gold leaf to the product.

Combined with the delicate grain of the wood and the vermilion lacquer coloring, this is a product that could only be developed by our company, and it beautifully expresses the world of Berserk.

1. Made of Tochi Japanese Natural Wood

This product is made of Tochi, Japanese horse chestnut. Tochi is a durable hardwood with a very beautiful grain and is robust, long-lasting and light. These characteristics make it ideal for everyday tableware. The natural wood has a warmth that cannot be reproduced by resin, glass, or ceramics.

This product is made of environmentally friendly materials that utilize natural wood.

2. Unique Japanese Design

No two wood grains have the same pattern. In other words, there is only one of its kind in the world. It is a uniquely Japanese design and concept that values the beauty of wood and nature. In order to bring this wood grain to life, craftsmen carefully process it with advanced techniques.

One can enjoy the beauty of nature's formative beauty with the grain of every product being different. The beauty of the grain of each piece of wood is unique to each and every product in the world.

The handiwork of master craftsmen creates vessels from a single piece of wood through many processes.

3. A Finish That Appeals To The Palate

Because of the robust nature of horse chestnut, it takes skillful technique to carve it. For this product, our craftsmen are well-versed in the ergonomically easy-to-handle thickness and based on this, the product is finished to an exquisite thinness. Since the slightest difference in thickness affects the finished product, it can only be made by the highly skilled hand of a craftsman. This thinness allows for a smooth and pleasant feeling on the palate when drinking a beverage.

Wood is a very user-friendly material and has superior heat retention and insulation properties compared to glass and silver products. This product will stay warm longer if you put a hot drink in it, and the cup itself is not hot due to its heat-insulating properties, making it easy to hold in the hand and drink. This product truly makes the best use of the superior properties of wood.
