Iroe Cup - Hedgehog

$34.00

The Iroe Cups are made in Hasami, Japan. Based on the hues and styles of the Edo period, these pieces combine modern pets with traditional patterns. Slight variation in patterns may occur.

The traditional motif of a squirrel on a grapevine symbolizes fertility and longevity and has long been considered a good luck charm in Japan. Here, we’ve taken the squirrel, once a symbol of fertility due to its resemblance to the rat, and swapped it for a cute four-toed hedgehog.
