Kissul "kuromidori" (pine green)- the modern urushi cup - kyoto, japan

KISSUL brings together Japanese craftsmanship, natural materials, and contemporary European design—creating objects that make everyday moments feel considered, calm, and quietly special. Crafted through collaboration. Developed in collaboration with Kyoto-based Sato Kiyomatsu Shoten (佐藤喜代松商店), a Kyoto lacquer specialist founded in 1921 in the historic Nishijin district, the KISSUL cup combines generations of urushi craftsmanship with the practicality of modern vacuum-insulated stainless steel. Natural Urushi lacquer is carefully applied by hand, transforming the cool surface of metal into something warm, tactile, and comforting to hold. The result is a beautiful contrast: an ancient natural material expressed through a clean, contemporary matte finish. A cup that feels at home in your hand. Inspired by the 17th-century soba-choko, a versatile Japanese cup traditionally used in many different ways, KISSUL is designed to move effortlessly through your day. Enjoy morning coffee or tea, a chilled evening drink, or use it to serve desserts and small dishes. Its double-walled vacuum construction helps keep hot drinks warm and cold drinks cool, while preventing the exterior from becoming uncomfortably hot or affected by condensation. Made for everyday enjoyment. Traditional Urushi lacquerware often requires delicate care. Through a specialized high-temperature curing process, KISSUL offers the beauty and tactile warmth of natural Urushi in a dishwasher-safe form—making it easy to enjoy every day. Each cup is unique. As every cup is finished by hand, subtle variations in brush marks, color, and surface texture may occur. These individual characteristics are not defects, but part of the natural beauty and character of handcrafted Urushi lacquerware.
