This product is a collaboration between ORIGAMI and "Maruyoshi Kosaka Lacquerware." Each dripper features fine striped patterns meticulously hand-painted by artisans.
-
ao (Blue-Green): Inspired by the dense forests of the Kiso mountains, featuring a deep and serene blue-green hue.
-
fuji (Wisteria Purple): Based on a matte pink dripper, layered with purple and pink lacquer to evoke the elegant blooming of wisteria flowers.
-
Both colors are accented with delicate gold lines as a highlight.
When mentioning "lacquerware," many people might only picture black or vermilion colors. However, by adding minerals and pigments to natural raw lacquer, a rich spectrum of colors, including blue and pink, can be achieved. These colorful drippers showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of Maruyoshi Kosaka and are a unique hallmark of ORIGAMI.
